I guess I'll recheck some things. Everything went smoothly and is torqued to spec.

Ok so I got all that stuff done. Now there is a fairly loud ticking(all the time)and a whine(only between 1200-1400rpm) coming from the passenger side cam area. Anyone else heard of this? I really don't want to take it back apart.

On a 1998 LS400 with the vvti engine it is totally different than earlier 1uz that I have owned. The cam seals do not appear to be removable from the front like the earlier models.

Ok. I have been searching the internet far and wide but cannot find an answer to this. When reversing if I hit the brakes I can hear and feel a decent clunk noise. I took it to a shop and was told that it was my control arm bushings but that replacement was not necessary if the problem did not...
