Sorry Roy I can’t help but I wouldn’t recommend this car sales place where they fit new cam belts.....to chain driven engines!

Steve, I did not fully understand your post, do mean a chain driven 1995 LS400?

No, he is just pointing out never believe a used car salesman, or to take your vehicle to the place selling that vehicle. Apparently the timing belt has been changed on the GS450h in question, despite the engine not using one.

No, the link refers to GS450h which is a chain driven engine but the seller is claiming the cam belt has been replaced when it doesn’t have one.

I've just sent a message asking when the belt was replaced!
