option00002 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Can someone recommend a Timing Belt kit? What have others done? Do you need everything found in a kit? Any help is appreciated. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Timing belt, water pump, camshaft seals, (front) crankshaft seal, upper and lower timing belt idler pulley, hydraulic tensioner, thermostat and coolant. You probably should consider replacing these parts while you're at it.... spark plugs, distributor caps, distributor rotors and spark plug wires.

TexasComputerMan Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Everything that 92LEX said is what I did to my 1992 SC400 a year and 1/2 ago and it has run great since. I also bought all Lexus parts, even though they were a little more expensive. I have never regretted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

option00002 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 I know at one point I saw a TBelt kit for approx $550 which included tensioners and the like. Shall I assume this is what you are referring to as aftermarket and that I should purchase the parts from the stealership? :cries: Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask for quotes on OEM parts and go with the least expensive. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
