All great advice and that Jeff's Garage video is nice. MooJohn you win the prize. I joined Lexus.com and I was able to get the service history. It appears the Timing Belt and a major tune up was done at 50K. Still a little concern (done in 05) but I think it's time to plan a road trip.
Thanks all,
RJ

fairly simple. just a few tips. make sure the motor is at tdc before removal of any parts. pop the cam gear bolt loose before you take off your t belt. buy a 12mm gear wrench to make installing the tensioner 5 minutes faster. and change all the seals, waterpump, and drive belt. the harmonic balancer aka crank pulley doesn tneed to be changed unless there is cracking in the rubber in between the inner and outer pieces. and finally if you get frustrated take a break, breath, collect yourself and go at it again.
