best ask a steering specialist shop as the engine identification shows a es300 as a 1mz-fe (3.0 ltr) and a ls400 as a 1uz-fe (4.0 ltr)
there may be mounting differences between the engines
For the LS400 1UZ-FE V8 the firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2, RH from the front 2-4-6-8, LH from the front 1-3-5-7. The RH/LH of the engine is facing forward, in other words, from the drivers seat looking forward.
This should help, I did mine yesterday, it is a piece of cake... just make sure you have a good spark plug socket that fits VERY snugly on the extension,and make sure you have a LONG extension for the socket... I have a 10 inch one, and I wish I used one that was longer for the back plugs on each side... Oh, and be careful to not crack the plugs in there by over tightening them... I know that it says its for an LS400 but they both have 1UZ-FE engines so its the same thing...
And make sure to spend the extra money for the Good Plugs and Wires... I got NKG's for my '93 SC400... well worth it...

with crank pulley white mark on 0 remove both cam pulley covers and verify yellow painted notches are exactly on the T mark cast in the fwd cam bearing housings..IF u find that it ISNT 'in time' then remove tensioner located near crank pulley and very carefully manipulate the L and R cam sprokets to allow belt to removed from cam sprockets only... DoNOT rotate engine without T belt installed .Do NOT turn engine backwards.. ever.. be advised that should the cam timing be off by more than 3 teeth either way serious engine damage will result ..this series of engines utilizes variable intake camshaft adjustment .. This job is not for the american small block specialist of yesteryear.. even an experienced asian tech is gonna have a difficult time with this lexus .. its not quite the same engine the Tundra uses...Lexus only mods befuddle reg toyota techs
