I have a 00 tacoma single cab. i was driving it in the woods one afternoon when i heard something odd. to make a long story short, the bolt that holds on the harmonic balancer actually torqued off into the engine and ended up moving the whole engine about 3 inches toward the front of the truck.it has 64,800 miles and since it is 4800 miles out of warranty toyota itself has told me that they can not do anything about this. i am spending $3,500 on a new engine. can someone help me with this problem. what are my options thanks db

;D What actually got damaged? I assume you tried putting the bolt back in?  Later... |

my truck did the same thing. except my girl friend was driving it and drove it 15 miles with the crank shaft spining inside the balancer. Luckly they make the crank out of harder steel than the balancer. i took the balancer and the timing belt gear off cleaned the crank with 400 grit sand paper. put a used timing belt gear on (because i broke the little tabs on the back fo the old one taking it off). I putt a new key and used balancer on. I all so had to put a new bolt in because the old one was gone. I putt some lite weight loctite on the bolt to keep it in there. The end of the crank shaft was a little rounded. But it has held togethere for 75k that way.
