The 1998 Toyota Sienna was built around a 3.0L V6 (1MZ-FE) and sold in CE, LE and XLE trim, and every clearance, torque figure and service sequence you work to on it should be the one Toyota published for the 1998 model year rather than a value carried back from a later revision.

Known issues on the 1998 Sienna. One recall stands on the federal record for this model year, and it falls under structure: the cable may break due to excessive corrosion and the spare tire may separate from the vehicle. Campaign 10V160000 covered certain model year 1998 through 2010 Sienna passenger vehicles manufactured between August 7, 1997 and January 4, 2010, currently registered in or originally sold in Connecticut. Owners have logged 352 complaints against the 1998 Sienna, and 64 technical service bulletins have been issued for it.
Whether you are under the van checking the spare tire cable for corrosion, tracing one of those 64 bulletins to its fix, or setting up a job on the 3.0L V6, you are working to Toyota's own procedures and specifications for the 1998 Sienna.
