Hey guys I am new to the lexus world and forum, I'm having so valve or lifter noise problems and am looking to just do a complete top end rebuild of the engine but I'm having trouble finding a kit.. I'm just curious if there is anyone out there that makes a complete top end kit or if I would have to order everything separately?

Yes that but curious if there is one that includes the valves, springs, etc. Or just get that all seperatly?

^None that I've seen with hardware like that. You would have to purchase the valves/springs/etc separately.

^Let us know what they end up telling you about that noise. Hope it isn't inside the timing cover, cuz that gets expensive quick!

Sounds good, I'll keep you updated

Did you know there is a recall that replaces the valve springs for free. You should ask the dealer about it.

Do you know the years it covers? Also, any links to the recall your talking about?

^I know the valve spring recall was done on my '06 IS350; still has the inspection sticker on the underside of the hood from it. If I remember right, the '06 & '07 models were affected...but that could be wrong.

Go to lexus.com then select "owners" then select "join". After you register they will have your vin and will tell you all of the recalls that apply to your car.
