(On SC 300 models, the battery and battery box will also need to be removed.) Without removal of the radiator and shroud, space to remove the crankshaft pulley bolt is pretty much non-existent. To prevent the possibility of damage, I would recommend removing the radiator and fan just to provide more working space ( see Photo 1).

The various models and yearly changes to this series of cars make an initial inspection worthwhile after checking a repair information source. Drain the coolant and remove the fan shrouds. The job is easier if it is on a hoist and the lower engine covers are removed. Ensure that every step is done correctly, and the proper tools and procedures are used to prevent comebacks, driveability complaints or difficulties in completing this service.īecause of the interference possibilities, I suggest removing the ignition key and hiding it so the engine does not get cranked by mistake while the belt is off. There are also differences between models on this platform that can impact the way certain components are removed.Ī quick scan through service bulletins, tech assistance requests and first-hand experience with this repair leads me to advise that extra care be taken on this repair.

For these reasons, I would recommend that you read through this article and the service manual description for this job very carefully before starting this repair. Due to the complexities of the valve timing and internal engine clearances, these engines will most likely bend valves if the belt fails, or if the belt is installed incorrectly. Nothing can spoil the resale value of a high-dollar car more than an engine failure. The focus of this article will be the timing belt replacement on a 2001 Lexus GS 300 with the in-line six-cylinder 2JZ-GE engine with VVT-i (Toyota’s variable valve timing). Since these cars are somewhat rare (you have to look to spot one on the road), many people would mistake them for their luxury “fluff mobile” cousins in the LS class. Later models have gone to V6 and V8 powerplants. Initially, these cars were powered by an in-line six-cylinder from the Toyota Supra line. The GS and more recently the IS platforms are high-quality, performance luxury models with a conventional front engine, rear-drive or all-wheel-drive layout.
