The ES engine for 92-93 is a low compression engine, if the
timing belt breaks there will be no engine damage. But
ya every 100 k it should be changed. Ask yor dealer. Dont
get it done at Lexus, unless you have $$$$$$ to wast, The
engine is just like a camry. Your water pump and tensoner
should be changed also. Change all the belts because they
have to remove the engine Also check all engine seals, rear
seal and engine mounts.

K = K

100,000Km = 60,000 Miles


Miles and Kilometers (Km) are different
