mort Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I was wondering if anybody knows if a seized cam shaft can be replaced on the 3 letter motor or do I have to replace the whole motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 id say the motor would be cheaper than fixing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Praibin Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 When a camshaft seizes is means there was an interruption to the oil supply. If the timing belt snapped as a result the the motor will be toast as allthe valves would be bouncing on pistons. I would think its a new motor or a major top end rebuild. Ask your Lexus dealer for the best advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
