Default GS400 with diesel sound

Everyone,

After you've done a cam seal change and your car engine now sounds like a diesel, make sure you check out this solution:

set the anti lash gear right on the exhaust cam.


if not your car will sound like the one in the above link.

I have the same problem with the exact same sound after a timing belt and cam seal change. I saw several threads on here about our engines having a diesel sound but this is the first solution I found on this.

Hope this helps someone.
