I recently made a very detailed how-to video on replacing the timing belt on the LS430, which is very similar to the GS430, I think it would be handy to have it in the sticky here:

I cracked my oil pan yesterday. Is there any diy's for replacing the oil pan or does anyone know how difficult it'll be? Does any engine components need to be removed first?
