LF Shop recommendation LS400 90K Maintenance Tampa FL area.
Hi, I have a 98 LS400 that needs to have some 90K maintenance done. I have already purchased the parts but I'm looking for someone to recommend a shop to perform the labor other than the dealership $$$.
The parts to replace are:
Timing Belt - 13568-09070
Timing Belt Tensioner - 13540-50030
Timing Belt Idler Bearing - 13505-0F010 (Right)
Timig Belt Ilder Bearing - 13503-50011 (Lower Leff) (13503-0F010)
Water Pump - 16100-59275-83 (16100-59275)
Thermostat - 90916-03100
Thermostat Gasket - 16346-50010
Cam Shaft Seal - 90311-71001 x 2 Pieces!!!
Crank Shaft Seal - 90311-A0001
I'm in the Brandon/Tampa area. I had a shop lined up with a good rep but they scared me when they called the local Lex dealership and was told the 98LS uses a timing chain... Then they said there is no reason for me to replace my timing chain on a 98 LS400.

I am getting ready to do this work on my '99 LS400. One item I have learned on the boards is that the cam shaft seals are different on generation 2, and NOT an easy replacement like in the generation 1.
