Simultaneously, OEM water pump bearings develop radial play and internal mechanical face seal failure, leading to weeping coolant passages and bearing seizure. On variable valve timing (VVT-i) iterations of the \u003cstrong\u003eMCX20\u003c\/strong\u003e platform, a skipped timing tooth can cause valve-to-piston contact, turning a maintenance oversight into complete internal engine destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis service kit restores exact valvetrain synchronization and optimal coolant circulation. The 211-tooth timing belt features high-tensile internal cord reinforcement to eliminate belt stretch and tooth deflection under high load. Paired with a precision-machined aluminum water pump equipped with heavy-duty internal seals and a matched hydraulic tensioner assembly, this package maintains proper dynamic belt tension and prevents cavitation across all operating temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Timing Belt (211 Teeth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Tensioner Pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Tensioner Adjuster \/ Hydraulic Tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Water Pump with Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 Engine Oil Seals (Camshaft and Crankshaft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1995-2004 Toyota Avalon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1MZ-FE\u003c\/strong\u003e (3.0L V6) \/ \u003cstrong\u003eMCX10\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMCX20\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e192-210 hp \/ 210-220 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1995-1999 Toyota Avalon XL \/ XLS (3.0L V6, \u003cstrong\u003eMCX10\u003c\/strong\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2000-2004 Toyota Avalon XL \/ XLS (3.0L V6, \u003cstrong\u003eMCX20\u003c\/strong\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the MCX10 \/ MCX20 Avalon?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 1995-2004 Toyota Avalon equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e1MZ-FE\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.0L V6 engine. \u003cstrong\u003eDoes not fit 4-cylinder engines or later 3.3L 3MZ-FE platforms.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs hydraulic tensioner replacement required when installing a new timing belt?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, replacing the hydraulic tensioner adjuster during belt service is essential because internal damper seals lose pressure over time, risking slack and tooth jump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Toyota Longevity Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToyota's \u003cstrong\u003e1MZ-FE\u003c\/strong\u003e architecture is celebrated for six-figure reliability, but maintaining that benchmark requires strict adherence to timing and cooling system refresh intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545288179960,"sku":"DS-E4XQT5LGT","price":74.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-water-pump-timing-belt-kit-for-toyota-avalon-1995-2004-3-0l-1.jpg?v=1790721003","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-water-pump-timing-belt-kit-for-toyota-avalon-1995-2004-3-0l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
