    tapping from ps timing cover

    The quick back story is that the ps head blew it's #1 spark plug out in early 2021. Later in the year I pulled the motor, re-sealed everything, and swapped on a used head. I did have to use my intake cam from the previous head, since the used head did not come with one. All valve lash measured...

    timing belt off the mark (making noise)

    See the pic below. This is TDC compression stroke, the other side is on the mark. It's also making a knocking tapping noise that can be felt in when you put your hand on that cam gear cover. Any ideas?

    Where does this go ???

    Does anybody know where this ground wire goes? Comes off the block. I don’t remember where I unbolted it from and didn’t get a good picture.

    Where to find this starter plug ? (pics)

    Trying to finish up parts ordering for the rebuild. While taking apart I broke the tab on this guy that connects down by the starter. Anyone know how to find it or have a PN ?

    The Motor is Coming Out

    So the backstory here is that a few months back I got several misfire codes on my 04. It suddenly began riding rough to the point where I ended up getting towed home. After a little digging this is what I found.

    04 HEAD REPLACEMENT while your in there

    I thought I might run this one past the collective. My 04 shot it's spark plug out a few weeks ago. The threads got ruined but I was able to install a time sert style insert from Auto zone. Unfortunately the insert failed after a few days and began leaking combustion gas past the plug. My next...

    2000 non nav into 2004 nav ???

    I don't know a lot about these swaps. So a local pick n pull has a 2000 LX with non-nav factory system. I was curious if this will work as a replacement for my 04 nav ? I think @jerryb is one of the experts in this area ? Edit: looks like @pfran42 also has extensive experience working with...

    non-nav GX needs radio upgrade

    I've been doing some searching on here and club Lexus and haven't found much to go on. I would like to upgrade my wife's radio in her 04 GX for her xmas present. It is a non-nav non Mark Levinson unit. My first thought was to grab a BT45TOY and plug that in so she could bluetooth from her phone...

    SOLD  KANSAS 1997 WHITE, 3X LOCKED, LOTS OF GEAR $14,300

    Had this one since 13' and it has been great. I've spent a lot of time and put a lot of good parts and maintenance into it. I've always enjoyed the truck and it has taken me and my family on many adventures. However, I bought a 100 series last fall and just haven't been driving this one much. It...

    two quick AC questions

    So I've been fighting my AC for a few weeks now. It was initially low on charge, I put it to 2.2x ambient air temp on the high side. About a week later we are back to blowing semi-cool air on hot days. I began to suspect the Shrader valves as I noticed some bubble next to the high side when I...

    For Sale  Coming Soon - 97 triple locked, White, lots of gear, (Kansas)

    Just wanted to put a feeler out and get this on the radar. Not ready yet, I need to replace two of the A/C Scrader valves that are slowly leaking and fix a squeaking parking brake. One of the electric door locks isn't working either. I'm hoping to have all of that taken care of by the end of...

    No AC FAQ ?

    I was hoping with summer here and no working AC there might be some info collected somewhere. I haven't been able to find any walk through's on the 100 series system. Pretty sure mine is low on charge, but I haven't jumped the low pressure switch to see what the compressor does. If someone has a...

    OEM power steering pump flow rate ???

    I was using my Mile Marker hydraulic on the 80 series today, pulling trees out of the pond. It got me thinking, does anyone have the specs on the 2uz power steering pump? It would be nice to know what the flow rates and pressures are. It would also be cool to see if anybody has modified their...

    proper part numbers for factory coil springs

    The driver side coil appears to be clapped out on my LX. I'm at least an inch lower then the PS without me in it. I looked up the part numbers and can order OEM rears for $140 a piece + shipping. However I do not have a local Lexus dealer and the nearest one does not give me great discounts. I...

    Grey 100 series build

    I've been wanting a 100 series since about the first time I saw one. Well last November I decided to do something about it. I found this one on a car lot in Merriam. The price was right at $9999. Coincidentally the dealer was just a few blocks from Hendricks Lexus, so it was easy enough to take...

    Storing fuel on the factory crossbars

    I'm looking for some ideas / options from folks who have done this. I'm thinking about throwing a Rotopax up there. Either a single 4.5 gallon, or two 3.5 gallon units. Or if you have some creative solution that isn't an aftermarket bumper or storing it in the passenger compartment, I'd be...

    Where to get blank keys ??

    I have only a single key, with transponder for my new to me LX. I'm not real thrilled about the $130 option from the dealership. Where are you guys getting your keys from? I also found a part number for a non-transponder blank 89786-50030 which would be fine with me if it works in my rig. Other...

    100 series gets a HAM radio

    So I really don't know as much about the amateur radio as I would like, and would certainly like to up my game this year. Me and some friends are going out west this and two of us are talking about installing dual band units in our rigs. Every time we go out to Utah we get in situations where...

    BBR or black brake resevoir

    Well I didn't take a picture, but the reservoir on my 04 has some black sludge on the sides of it. A sample of the fluid shows it to look pretty good. But you can wipe your finger on the side of the reservoir and it comes away black. Does any buddy else have this going on ?
