This is what you want. It has the OEM parts. Minus the cam and crank shaft seals.

yes, definitely get the real Toyota parts which come in the Aisin TKT-030 kit, it is available many places online!

Aisin & Nippon Denso - two divisions of the Toyota group - supplied over 95% of the parts in your Lexus! - both have the reputation of building the most durable and reliable parts in the automotive world - it's these companies that are the reason a '96 LS400 had 897,000 documented miles on it when sold recently on ebay!

As far as I know, the company GMB is not making any OEM parts for Toyota. I will not be choosing GMB parts.
