1997 ES300 Timing Belt Question

Sep 17, 2005 1 Replies

Can anyone tell me whether the '97 ES300 has a negative clearance engine? I know that some Lexus models are fail safe if the timing belt breaks (i.e. pistons won't smash open valves).



Thanks, CT


It is safe. Same as the Camry of that year. No need to extend the life of your belt though.
