Hey Shizukesa, Great Detailed Content indeed. May I ask you if you know or could check what colour rating your stock front Coil Springs are please if possible, as there are 2 colour Ratings for the IS300 Saloons, also do you still have your stock parts? Much Appreciated if you could help me out. Thanks
@@abdulwaheedqureshi4163 Hi Abdul. I’m not quite sure what you mean by colour rating? Do you mean spring rate? 🤷🏻♂️ The spring rate for the front is 12kg/mm and the rears are 10kg/mm.
@@shizukesajdm Yo Shizukesa, I mean there is normally a Colour identification marking on the actual front Coil springs? I always stick with OEM with most parts. P.S Do you still have your Stock parts?
@@abdulwaheedqureshi4163 Ah okay! Yeah I still have them. They're packed away in the garage atm, but I can have a look tomorrow for you if you want.
@@shizukesajdm Yes Please and I really Appreciate your time. I only found out this information today from LEXUS as there 2 choices available for my Model, left me in a right Spiral, The marking should be located on the two central Coils I think, it'll be either be one of two colours I believe, the Rear Coil springs have a Green and White marking I think? P.S I really like your Emerald Green Chameleon Paint, pretty Rare Colour, so a really great purchase Shizukesa. Thanks again
just did the spark plugs, wires, boots, valve cover gaskets, etc. - this video definitely helped removing that annoying throttle body - thanks!
You’re welcome! I’m glad it was helpful. That throttle body is a nightmare design 😂
Had to take throttle apart because of tps codes bought a new throttle didn’t come with sensor let’s just say these cars codes work pretty well if it says tps it’s probably the sensor and not the actual throttle body failing
AMAZING AMAZING VIDEO!! Amazing detail it only to the job and parts but considering what the audience views and understands …the part numbers the proper steps…a lot of respect on this !!
Thank you so much! :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Really well made pal, I look forward to part 2 👍🏻
Thanks mate! That's high praise coming from you! :) Much appreciated!
hey thank you for all the movies! thanks to them you have added a brick to my dream of is200, which I have had for two weeks, I love you and I look forward to seeing more films!
I’m so glad you like the videos! There’s a lot more to come! I appreciate the kind words! 😃
a myriad of blessing upon you once again... saviour of many
Nope, that’s Jesus 😉 but you’re welcome!
I love these videos that you made. Just bought my first is300. Can't wait to do more work on it.
Congratulations! They’re amazing cars :) stay tuned for more! Thanks for watching!👍🏻
Thank you for such mint quality video with clear instructions!
You’re absolutely welcome! Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻
Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT!!
FYI if you don’t have a vice, you can use the serpentine belt trick to hold the water pump pulley in place and remove the 4 washers while the water pump is still attached to the engine.
Legend!!! Thank you for the amount of time you put into this
You’re welcome! 😊
perfect reference video 🔥 thanks bro
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching. Stay tuned to part 2! 😃
For pease of mind, you can put a couple of marks on both the old timing belt and crank/cam pulleys before you remove the belt. Then line it up next to the new belt and duplicate the marks on the new one. Then you can tell if you're ever off by any amount of teeth.
Good trick! Thanks!
Extremely useful video 🙏
I'm glad you think so! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you so much, I was looking for something just like this!
You’re absolutely welcome! 😊👍🏻
Great info. Most detailed I've seen in terms of the timing belt. Was nervous about doing mine but a little more confident now.
I’m glad it helped :) thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
@@shizukesajdm by the way, do you have the link for the crank pulley holder to remove the crank bolt?

Very detailed video. Thanks for awesome job
You’re welcome 👍🏻
Thanks a lot for sharing this video. No music is my preference too.
You’re welcome :) thanks for watching!
Amazing Job! 👏🏽
Thank you! :)
Great video. I'm definitely watching the part 2.
I wish I can find a mechanic here in Tampa fl who work the way you work. Someone serious and dedicated that I can trust.
The problem is time constraints. When you're working against the clock and you come up against unforeseen issues, it eats into time, and therefore it eats into money. I can take my time here :) I filmed these videos over 10 days and spent 10-12 hours a day on filming it all. Obviously filming makes this take a lot longer. But yeah, the main issue is the clock :) Thanks for watching!
Huge thankyou! Subbed!
You're absolutely welcome! :) And thank YOU! 🙏
Thank you so much, ima be watching a lot of ur stuff before my rebuild. I’m at 210k miles😂😂 she’s ready for a rebuild and upgreads
You’re welcome! Good luck with the process! :) any questions, just ask 👍🏻
thank you so much! i love 2jz nice car i must have
You’re welcome! :)
Earned yourself a sun
I’m more of a moon guy myself. Jk thank you! 😃
Just got my is300… this looks very intimidating.
If you’re not familiar wit this kind of work, perhaps it’s best not to tackle all of it. Just start with the basics like spark plugs or an oil change :)
This is truly an outstanding 2-part video series of how to maintain the 2JZ-GE in the IS300. You provided an excellent explanation of timing this VVTi engine as most simply put the engine to the TDC marks. You correctly did the counterclockwise rotation to the -30 degrees before TDC that the factory service manual calls for. The purpose of this, as described in the service manual, is to put the valves and pistons in a position in which accidental rotation of one of the camshafts does not result in valve/piston contact. I did a similar timing belt/water pump/valve cover/camshaft seal (and in my case, also crankshaft seal) job three years ago and followed the FSM, including the torque specs and direction to place the timing at 30 degrees BTDC. I'm glad I did because, as you did, I also used a spanner to hold the crankshaft in place while my friend used an impact wrench to loosen the bolts on the camshaft pulleys. Unfortunately, this caused the spanner to loosen on the exhaust pulley, causing it to rotate 180 degrees. I think this would have likely caused some valve damage if the timing was at TDC. I really appreciate your level of detail for all steps and will follow this (along with the FSM) when I do my next timing belt. Unfortunately, I have an oil leak in the VVTi intake pulley and will likely need to redo the job sooner than expected. That is one thing that you might want to tackle when you do your engine rebuild since these pulleys are notorious for the o-ring going south and causing horrendous oil leakage. I'll probably just purchase a new VVTi pulley from Lexus when I do the job. I also have an apparent oil pan leak, so I'll have to tackle that along with engine and transmission mounts. But, for someone who bought the car new in 2001, it still drives great and I smile every time I drive it to work. Thanks so much for the wonderful and clear video!
What a great comment. I'm so sorry I missed it, but I wasn't notified at the time and now I've just found a way to go back to comments I haven't replied to. I try to follow the correct procedure wherever possible, as this is what I do in my day job (Aerospace engineering). There are many other things I need to change out with the engine build, but I'll certainly keep in mind your suggestion. Take care and thank you so much for watching!
@@shizukesajdmHi! Thank you so much for the video
I’m doing my timing belt and when trying to loosen the vvti gear 10mm bolt the camshaft moved
Should I just rotate it to original position? I’m worried about messing up the engine.
Help please. Thank you in advance. 33:42
@@maxgonzalez3110 which direction? And how far?
@@shizukesajdm counterclockwise and about 1/4 turn.
@@maxgonzalez3110 It should be fine to move it back clockwise by 1/4 then. HOWEVER... don't force it! Let me know how you get on 👍
👏🏼
Thanks dad
Great video! Will you be demonstrating how to change the oil pan gasket in your next video?
No, sorry. But maybe with the engine build you’ll see. It’s pretty straight forward. Drain the oil, remove the bolts and pry it off :) thanks for watching! 👍🏻
thank you
You’re welcome! :)
Love your video 📹 you just like me want to show everything in detail this is why we are bros👊😎we are to proper when it comes to maintaining our girls 😅
New upload coming today! 😋✌🏻 thanks for watching! It means a lot!
The hardened valve cover gaskets and seals indicate a lack of maintenance, I have found that vehicles that are maintained at 3k miles almost always have more supple seals and gaskets. Also those vehicles don't usually have oil leaks due to the gaskets maintaining their seal.
The car has been serviced every single year since 2002. It's normal for a car of this age to have hardened gaskets and other similar issues. Nothing lasts forever.
excellent work!!!! Awesome thanks for share 🤙… I have 2003 is300 with almost 200000 …. I want you do the job 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
*Did you ever just look at the condition of the things you were taking off??? Dude that car was in immaculate condition!!! The clips were still brand new!!!*
Yeah it’s not bad :) the only problem is the rust on the rear sills and sub frame/suspension parts.
@@shizukesajdm Ummm well that's where you should have started lol. NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THAT ENGINE BAY!!!
@@MRMAN-wb1tv The water pump had NEVER been changed. Also, I’ve had the car booked in for body work since 2021. It’s a long waiting list at most good body shops.
@@shizukesajdm Hey man if you LIKE IT, I LOVE IT! Good videos.
@@MRMAN-wb1tv Thanks, mate! :)
Great video!!! Did u use some type of sealant or lube on the new cam seals? I put some silicon gasket sealant on mine and it leaked again😅😭
Where did they leak from? Centre or sides?
Hello. Just saw the video...maybe for the 4th time to check all the details. Awesome work. One question from my side. On the list of links, i don't see the ones for the cam/crank seals? Did i miss something?
Cheers

You are great making this video so i could learn how to top dead set
Glad it helped :) 👍🏻
Great, great video! I have a 2002 is 300 Sportcross with just under 250,000. It has the original water pump (I am the original owner) which seeps at high speed. Is it going to be a mission to remove the pump or should I just drive 60 MPH and add fluid as needed.
With that mileage, the water pump is basically a time bomb. I would change it ASAP!
Absolutely amazing video. The amount of shared knowledge is priceless. Question for you, have you ever found out what a dealer or shop would have charged to do all this maintenance? I’m in USA so I know prices may vary. Just curious because I bought a used IS300 and came with a lot of new Toyota parts to do the basic maintenance but I never done a timing belt before. I have done just about everything else even though I would not consider my self a “mechanic”, I try to service my vehicles as much as possible. One of those things that I’m not sure if I want to tackle or pay someone to do. If you know what I mean. Thanks
Well, first of all, I'm not a mechanic either :) But I am a mechanical maintenance engineer so I guess that's close enough! Secondly, perhaps I should get a quote from Lexus or Toyota to see what this would have cost if I had them do the work, such to see the contrast :) I'm guessing it would be at least £3500+! :)
Thanks for getting back to me. I was thinking about the same but who knows, with the outrageous prices they are changing now it could be more. I only paid $2k for the car with all the parts. It’s a salvage title but I didn’t care since it a Florida car so not a speck of rust anywhere. My intentions were to daily drive it. It just seems crazy to pay more for these maintenance that what I paid for the car lol.
@@itotech7845 As long as the chassis is straight then it's fine, imo. Do the maintenance if you're going to keep the car for a long time. These cars will only go up and up in price in the next 5-10 years, just like every other JDM car. Of course, you don't have to go as deep as I did if there are no leaks. Oil, filters, spark plugs, timing belt and water pump would be fine! And change the idlers only if they need it.
@@shizukesajdm oh I’m keeping it. Frame is straight and no rust.
Ik this might be a crazy question but id feel more comfortable knowing 😅 does all of this relate to the Left Hand Driver models and Right??
Yes! :)
Let us know how that mishimoto radiator holds up, because i chose to go with the Koyorad Full Aluminum Radiator for the Lexus IS300 M/T (i have an A/T with trans cooler) and it's been flawless for over a year now. And i didn't choose the mishimoto because the loss in reliability and quality the last decade.
I've had it now for 18 months and it's been absolutely fine :)
Hey man I'm trying to find new bushings but have no idea what brands to use, i know you mention a lot that bushings are a good idea to change, please could you direct me to where you got yours from?
Super pro! www.tegiwaimports.com/brands/superpro.html
great vid could you give a rough estimate of hours labour?
I can’t really, I had to film everything which probably caused a 5-10x time delay. I think if you know the process and delays aren’t frequent then you can get it done in 2-3 days. It depends on so many factors and it depends on how much you are doing! 😊👍🏻
Great tutorial but just wanted to let you know that you clocked the new thermostat 180 degrees off.. You need to posting the little nipple in NORTH position
Nice work, even though I dont own a is300 as you know, but still like seeing the engine and all this work. What do you think was easier to work with, is200 or is300
The IS200 is definitely easier to work on. Thanks for watching! 😃
@@shizukesajdm The only real hard thing about this engine is removing the throttle body, and intake manifold.
Can you tell me what the reservoir underneath the battery. Mine doesn't have a cap and I have no idea what it's for.
Sorry mine is a 2002 Lexus
I have no idea. I never even noticed a reservoir under there! 😅
Why pink/orange coolant????? And not normal green coolant???
Thought pink/orange coolant was for aluminum block motors? Please explain?
Aluminium blocks came later on and pink coolant was developed last. But you can use any coolant in any engine really. I used pink because it has the longest life and pink was already in there before I changed it. I didn’t flush the block so this was pretty much my only option. Hope this helps, thanks for watching! 😃👋🏻
Sorry but what’s the part number for the water bypass pipe seals ?
I’m not sure because I got them with the Aisin water pump kit. Have a look on amayama.com 👍🏻 they have everything! You can use seals from a seal kit if you can’t find the actual OEM seals.
Why when I do the crank pulley portion my crank rotates instead of removing the pulley?
Are you using the special tool?
Hey Shizukesa I’m really hoping you can help me out because I’m kinda freaking out right now. So I was following your video of the part of removing the 10mm allen on the vvti cam gear with my impact and was holding the cam shaft with an adjustable wrench and I’m not sure exactly what happened because it happened so fast but the vvti gear shifted left and I think the cam shaft moved some as well. I really hope I didn’t screw anything up. I saw from your video that yours came off so easy.
Can you leave a time stamp so I know exactly what you’re talking about? :)
@@shizukesajdm I really appreciate you getting back to me and so quick as well. The time stamp is 33:43.
@@shizukesajdm did you by chance get my message?
@@dominicmaughan9210 Hey mate, I didn’t get a notification for it which is annoying. I’ve seen it now. It really depends on how much you’ve moved the camshaft. Does the cam gear still lineup as normal or not?
@@dominicmaughan9210 everything going alright?
Will this work for a left hand drive is300?
Yes, of course! 👍🏻
Does the system need to be bled after the coolant flush
Absolutely 100%.
I just got an 03’ is300 , it is my first car.
Need all the information I can get.
Has 135k miles on it. Completely stock.
Nice! Enjoy it, they’re great cars!
@@shizukesajdm I’m still watching the video lol . I’d like to get some decent power out of this car. But would like it to still be a good daily driver. Any thoughts on this. I’m working on maintenance right now. I believe my tensioner is shaking so I need to fix that
Just bought a 2002 Ltuned IS! How do you go about knowing which Mishimoto radiator to buy and should I get the mishimoto hoses as well? Thanks
Ltuned? Just Google the radiator I guess. There’s a link to the one I bought in the description. I’m pretty sure it’s the same for the IS200. You don’t NEED the hoses. Actually I would suggest getting new OEM hoses or keeping the old ones if they’re in good condition because the Mishimoto hoses were insanely tight and a nightmare to install. Good luck!
@@shizukesajdm thank you so much just watching your video of the coil overs! Big help and appreciate it sir.
@@shizukesajdm Ltuned has special exhaust chrome wheels and body kit!
It has only 100,000 miles so I should not really have to replace many things right now. Enjoyed your videos
How much you payed for it ?
Hey! I just bought a Lexus IS300 this week for $3900. 228k miles but it still runs strong. Only issues with it currently are the shocks and springs which need to be replaced as they make quite a bit of noise. I was thinking of putting coilovers on the car instead but I don’t have the money to put $1000 coilovers on the thing. Any ideas of where to go in order to get oem stocks and shocks? Or should I go aftermarket instead?
Congrats! That’s a lot of miles 😅 …It depends what you’re going to use the car for really. If you’re going to track it then 100%! coilovers. If you want it pretty low then, again, 100% coilovers. But if it’s just a daily then some shocks and lowering springs would be fine. So think about what you want this car to be and then decide based on its use ☺️👍🏻 enjoy the car! They’re really awesome cars! Oh also… change the front lower ball joints asap!!!
@@shizukesajdm Yeah. The miles are pretty damn high hahah, but I’ve seen people on here say they’ll go 300k+ with proper maintenance. Plus for what o bought it for, I can’t ask for too much, especially here in California where used car prices are sky high. Now that you mention it, I’m even more tempted to get some nice coilovers for it 😅 but I don’t know if that’s the move just yet. I think later down the line it’ll be worth it, but for now I’ll just put some oem ones on instead.
@@brycegum_221 ALWAYS maintenance first. Belts, oils, filters, water pump, thermostat, coolant, pulleys etc etc. Then you can have fun with mods 😋 Yeah they’ll go 300k+ but you don’t know how the car has been treated in the past. Hopefully it’s been looked after :) regardless, they’re amazing cars! Get the maintenance and ball joints done before anything else ☺️👍🏻
@@shizukesajdm Good advice! I’m taking it to the shop tomorrow. I’ll let the professionals let me know what needs to be done, etc. 🫡 So excited to finally have one tho!
@@brycegum_221 welcome to the club! 😋🙏🏻
Next time you jack up the car from the front don't take off your body parts. You use two blocks of wood and roll the car up on it for Clarence. Great video though
Yeah I didn't have any at the time, but I've since bought some low profile ramps.

Bruh, you don’t have to turn the crank back after setting the timing, I’ve done plenty of timing jobs on 2jz
It’s safer. Just going by the service manual.
