My 2004 SC430 is getting up there in miles and years so I thought I'd be proactive and replace a few engine hoses that have become hard / inflexible and might be prone to failure. These are the upper engine vacuum and coolant hoses that are nicely formed to fit exactly to the contours of the 4.3L engine. While there are several online Lexus parts sites, I couldn't find one that actually showed these small hoses. I made a call to MyLParts and was promptly Emailed these nice PDF diagrams by Jeff. These diagrams are for a 2004 SC430 but will probably apply to at-least the 2002 through 2005 models.

Thanks FlopTop04.

You're quite welcome. Figured that some others would be needing those little hoses soon, too. Buying plain hose and cutting it to length wouldn't look very Lexus like, even hidden under that engine cover. Just placed my order. Even got the foam piece that covers ( and quiets ) the PCV valve. Mine was starting to crumble.
