    Just dropping you a big "Thank you!" for taking the time to do this! Always appreciate those who are willing to go the extra steps required to not just do the job, but film, edit, and post!

    The Felpro sparkplug gaskets are slightly larger than the OEM toyota ones, which makes a big difference when installing the new ones. Instead of hammering them in, you only need oil around the outside and you can push them in without even needing to bend the tangs back. I highly recommend paying the $20 for all 4 and making it an easy 5 min job to replace those.

    I'm gonna wait right here for the head gasket repair, or oil consumption repair video. I feel that's the natural progression for this 3rd Gen.

      Yeah, with 250k on it, I told the owner that it would probably be the next repair.

    What happened to the installation of the actual valve cover gasket? That can easily be put in incorrectly.

    Thank you for the very informative video! Also, how to get the stuck those seals off if they’re bonded to the cylinder cover? They’re soo stiff and can’t get em off

    Thanks again for another great video! Thinking about doing this. Do you have any videos on how you organize the parts as they come out. I'm worried I will not remember how to put everything back together.

    Did you apply sealant to the joint between the timing cover and the camshaft housing as is recommended?

    • @simpsonchan4404
      @simpsonchan4404 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was thinking the same thing too. Great video nonetheless, but that sealant between the valve cover and timing chain cover should have been mentioned.

    What is the part number of the grommet for the center long bolt on top of the valve cover gasket? And where can I get it?

      I am not sure, as mine came with the valve cover gasket set.

    Followed the video to the T and I can’t for the life of me get the tube gaskets to go in. Used the right socket size and even a seal driver and I’ve already damaged all the tube seals. What could I be doing wrong? I’ve tried tapping them in light and with a little force. Any extra tips will help please.

      Ugh, sorry to hear that because I may or may not have had similar problems in the past! I used the old ones flipped over and hit firmly, yet gently, around and around until they were seated. I still had to tap a few of them back out just a touch because they went in too far. Don't understand why 1) Toyota put those stupid tabs in the way. Like, if that's the only thing keeping your gaskets in place, you've already got a major problem... and 2) why they wouldn't just have the seals "bottom out" so that you CAN'T tap them in too far.

    Doesnt the gasket need a drop or two of silicone sealant in a select spot or two?
