Engine Overhaul Kit
Hello all,
I posted about my LS 430 with 181k a long while ago, bought in February 23 and blew the head gasket in April that same year
Finally got around to working on it and got both cylinder heads off today. Would like some help with what kit to get for seals, I see a few on the official Lexus site and on Lexuspartsnow.com. Here is the link for the kit I am looking at.

This seems like the most complete set and would include the head gaskets and valve cover gaskets which I would like to change. Anyone know a more complete set that would have gaskets this doesn't? If so please let me know! TIA

That is the most complete gasket kit Lexus sells. Potentially cheaper here

You will also need valve stem seals look into Mahle or Victor Reinz if you don't feel like paying for OEM

Thank you! Would you know the difference between the kit I linked and the one you sent? I ask because I would like to start reassembly soon and seems shipping on Amamya takes longer.

Thank you! And sorry for the late reply. I have not bought any kits yet, seems my issue is a lot more than a head gasket, have a valve guide and seat broken. Just posted a new thread "Need Help - Valve Guide Replacement" would appreciate any advice you may have.

Seems about the same price here with potentially cheaper shipping
