Just a couple of observations/questions: 1) I'm "told" that when you unattach fuel line, you have to replace it. Obviously you didn't think so; 2) I'm "used to" having to follow careful torques and maybe even sequence for bolts on valve cover. Did you? I really appreciate how to think outloud, and that you don't OVERTALK it like a lot of amateurs. :()
I’ve never replaced a fuel line simply because I unhooked it, I’ve actually never heard of that. Most things aren’t critical on torque when you have years of experience and have a feel for it as well as a basic understanding of how to sequence them down evenly. Sometimes I talk more, sometimes less depending on what I feel needs to be said, while some get the idea with a few words others need it explained in detail. Thanks for the feedback, I try to read all comments and learn more.
So i changed the valve cover gasket and the fuel one but its still leaking and i had it done at a local shop but the mechanic’s telling me my valve cover is warped because its just a hard plastic and deteriorate’s after years of driving i just want to know do you think its that or they just didn’t put and seal the gaskets right
The valve cover can crack very easily, it’s possible the act of removing it cracked it or it was misdiagnosed as a gasket, the exact leak point has to be located. They might be right because that is a problem but it’s just as possible that it was damaged. Not to say it’s their fault because I’m not the one looking at it but it is something that happens.

I just did this on my 99 tacoma.
This looks like more of a pain lol but here I go!
Thank you 🫡
Good video, these jobs are hard enough without the addition of filming! Thanks for the help!
well. that was interesting. I got something to look forward to.
Any concerns with blocking the fuel line prior to disconnect?
@@mlampton121 I’ve never had a problem

Thanks man this video helped me out. What was the torque specs ?? Btw
I never looked them up, just good and snug, they have collets on them so the gasket only has a certain amount of tension on it. They don’t take much.
Good video. Thanks
Part number for high pressure fuel pump gasket?
I believe it was part of the valve cover kit
wher can i buy the valve cover, i cant seemed to find it anywhere
Most of these parts I source from the dealer, I’ve seen too many aftermarket parts that are just out of the box.
What size engine was that?
It was a 2.4l
Mine is 2.0 and gasket looks similar. The problem is to find both cover and gas pump gaskets. Going ti O'Reilly tomorrow to return the wrong one.
