The 2002 Lexus SC 430 service and repair manual is written to this exact year, engine and trim combination, so the clearances, torque values and diagnostic steps in it are the ones Lexus published for the 4.3L V8 (3UZ-FE) in this car, not figures approximated from a neighboring model year.

Known issues on the 2002 SC 430. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module. It applies to cars whose driver or passenger frontal air bag inflators had already been replaced under an earlier recall using inflators of the same design; those inflators may explode, and an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death. Owners have filed 52 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are on record. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind the supplemental restraint system are here.
From an air bag system inspection to a routine service interval on the 4.3L V8, it holds you to the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2002 SC 430.
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2010-2016 4Runner, 2003-2006 Tundra, 2003-2013 Corolla, 2009-2010 Corolla Matrix, 2004-2005 RAV4, 2002-2007 Sequoia, 2011-2013 Sienna, 2008-2012 Scion xB, 2008-2009 Lexus IS-F, 2007-2012 Yaris and Lexus ES350, 2010-2017 Lexus GX460, 2002-2010 Lexus SC430, 2006-2012 Lexus IS250 and IS350 and 2010-2015 Lexus IS250C and IS350C vehicles. These vehicles had their driver or passenger frontal air bag inflators previously replaced under a prior recall using inflators of the same design. The inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and tempera

ANGLE OF THE REAR WINDOW, THE RELATIVELY NARROW APERTURE OF THE GLASS AND THE LARGE HEADRESTS ON THE REAR SEATS CONSPIRE TOGETHER TO SEVERLY RESTRICT THE DRIVER'S VIEW OUT OF THE REAR VIEW WINDOW. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANYTHING ALONG THE REAR "FLANKS" OF THE VEHICLE OUT OF THIS WINDOW WHILE DRIVING. MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE VIEWING APERTURE, USE A "LOWER PROFILE" HEADREST IN THE BACK SEAT (LIKE THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE BETWEEN THE TWO REAR SEATS), OR A COMBINATI
