good luck.

 

pretty good

but u can skip step 9

u dont need a puller its not a domestic they are not pressed it. just need 2 pry bars

in step 42 he used too much fpig a very thin coat is all u need

it doesnt take lexus mechanics 10-15 hours ive done it in 5

step 2 should be put the engine on tpc for piston number 1

if u get a lexus timing belt there are painted marks on the belt its self that should algined with the marks on the cam gears and the crank sprocket

 

Hey thanks guys! can you tell me if the pully "crankshaft" is right or left hand thread? tried breakerbar and starter trick to no avail, it won't break free!!!!

 

turn to left if u dont have an impact ur going to need to put the belt back on and stick a screw driver in 1 of the pullies or harmonic balancer
