It’s a blast of a car! Mine has about 188k miles on it now. Had around 183k when I replaced the timing belt.

The hydro fan has its own dedicated pump, reservoir, and cooler. It bolts essentially in front of the water pump. On the LS400 with the “regular” fan, this is the same bracket location as they used for the hydro pump on the SC400. So I was able to get a pulley assembly from an LS400 and replace the hydro pump that way, while still keeping normal drive belt routing

@@elementalcivik ahh nice, thanks bro saved me hella time tryna research all that

Really a pretty simple timing belt to replace. If you’ve been inside another engine and have that level of knowledge, probably like a 3-4?

@@elementalcivik alright thank you....buddy of mine already asked if I was gonna LS swap it. Ah NO

@@willk3807 an LS/SC400 deserves only the 1UZ!

Thank you for this, I'm planning on doing some work to my uncle sc400, really great engines.

I’ll see if I have the parts list from my parts geek order

Would love the parts list too

Awesome to hear, get that car sorted and rolling! I believe everything including factory coolant and seals and such was around $700. Just the timing and water pump kit was in the $350 range.

@@elementalcivik I like that thanks man you inspired me I was watching your video and looking in my driveway just looking at my sc400 and was like shit let's do this..

@@kangokidkidd4037 Awesome to hear, show the SC some love!

I believe it was right around $700 for the parts with everything including gaskets and factory coolant.

@@elementalcivik quick question so blue/white smoke started coming from the exhaust when I turn on the car. Do you have any idea of what it could be?

@@darkghostmist6411 Typically, a blueish smoke indicates some raw fuel in the exhaust that isn’t burning off during combustion. Leaky injectors, or running super rich can cause that, among several other causes. Greyish smoke is usually excess oil getting into the combustion chamber. Straight white smoke can be coolant, or just a little white smoke on a cold morning during warmup is normal.

@@elementalcivik thank you and good luck to your build

@@darkghostmist6411 No problem, and thanks!

Oh ok thanks should be the same process on my 97 sc400 for the cam seal

@@nicalatinlover should be very similar if not the same
