Shitty mechanic here in Uganda changed the timing belt on a friend's 96 4runner with the 3.4L motor. Broke the crankshaft pulley in the process so I went and towed it to my house. Couldn't find an original pulley here, so I ordered the lightweight one from URD. Toyota of Dallas couldn't get an original one in before our friend flew here last week.
Anyways, the video is the engine at idle. It's hard to see in the video, but the pulley has a very small wobble to it. The bolt is as tight as we can get it, and the moment you add any sort of throttle, it smooths out perfect. Just wobbles slightly at idle.
Should I be worried? At this point, the only option is to order a factory original from Toyota Dallas and wait another 3 weeks for the next friend to come over and bring it along.
