Don't get me wrong but it sounds like your car might have been abused a bit based on your issues. I have never heard of valves being this loud and fuel injectors going bad on 3UZFEs at 120ish k miles......
The bottom line is your car is getting fixed and you should be good to go for a long time Congrats!
These engines are known to run damn clean. I change my oil once a year at maybe 7k intervals using synthetic oil. Last time I pulled the valve cover off (last month), there was absolutely no sludge. Rarely do you hear sludge problems on these engines. The 1MZ-FE engines on the other hand...
Wow that's impressive, but I did read a lot of complaints on the gs400 was sludge buildup on these cars if u don't do 3k intervals, but hell, u guys know more than me, that's awesome to hear!!!!

I don't know, its possible, one of the guys that has worked there for 13 years said he has never seen a gs come in for a valve adjustment, but then again the service manager said whoever had it before me took great care of it, so i dont know.....Thanks! But aren't these 1uzfe engines? Lol
Just talked to my guy down at Lexus , he said he was standing by the car talking and heard my engine take in some air (k&n) and had to do a double take and put his ear down to the engine to hear it and couldnt believe my car was running..it's so quiet... WOOOOHOOO!.!. my baby's back tomorrow!(fri) lol
Alright got the car back! Turns out it was 2 bad lifters, not injecters, and the shims were damaged.. Replaced all parts rings, seal, timing belt... I'm happy she's back NO MORE TICK!.!.'zn
As a matter of fact I do, it def snaps my neck back a lot harder and Im already gettin better gas mileage, I'm extremely happy, but these wheel shakes are driving me nuts..
Dear lord!.!.!. I just got on it on the highway last night leaving the car wash, WOW!.!. This thing runs like a straight maniac, I can't believe my gas mileage now and how incredible my pickup is and the sound of my borla exhaust.... Unreal..
