If you’re running a Toyota Hiace with a 2.4L 2RZ engine—especially models like RZH103, RZH125, RZH10, or RCH12 manufactured between 1995–2005—you’ll know that reliability is the name of the game. These vans are tough, dependable, and built to last—but even the strongest engines eventually need a little love.

One of the most critical components in these engines is the timing chain. When it wears or stretches, your workhorse becomes a ticking time bomb. But don’t worry—at RunningRoo Auto Parts, we’ve got you covered with OEM-grade timing chain kits that are built to go the distance.

Why the Timing Chain Matters in the Hiace 2RZ Engine

The 2RZ-FE engine is a workhorse in many Toyota Hiace models. It’s known for its simplicity, longevity, and strong performance. However, like any chain-driven engine, the timing chain system is subject to wear over time—especially in commercial vehicles that see high mileage and heavy use.

A worn timing chain can lead to:

  • Poor engine performance
  • Rattling noises during startup
  • Check engine light (often linked to cam/crankshaft timing misalignment)
  • Fuel inefficiency
  • Engine hesitation or misfire
  • Eventually, catastrophic engine failure if left unresolved

If your Hiace is still running the original chain and you’re anywhere near or beyond 250,000km, a timing chain kit replacement should be seriously considered.

What’s Included in a Quality Timing Chain Kit?

A proper timing kit chain for Toyota Hiace 2.4L 2RZ should include:

  • Timing chain
  • Chain tensioner (hydraulic or mechanical depending on engine variant)
  • Chain guide rails
  • Camshaft and crankshaft sprockets
  • Timing cover gasket
  • Crankshaft seal (optional but recommended)
  • High-temp RTV silicone for resealing
