- This is video on how to replace a valve cover gasket on 2000 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder engine. There was a oil leak from valve cover and the gasket had to be replace.
correction: I video I refer to brake fluid cleaner I meant to say brake parts cleaner that's what I used to clean valve cover and where it seats.
Valve cover 17 lbs torque on valve cover nuts.
Toyota parts:
Valve cover gasket 11213-74020
Valve cover Grommets 90480-30025 Qty 4
PCV valve 12204-74030
Really admire your patience when things go wrong, i.e. pcv valve snapping. Your step-by-step video with explanations are the best. Thanks, very helpful!
Great to hear! Glad it help.
I appreciate you showing this all in (mostly) real-time without skipping to the end of every step. So many videos just tell you what to do without showing you how it’s actually done or have the whole engine pulled out of the car, like anyone’s gonna do that just to replace a calve cover gasket.
I agree with you. I always try to show all steps involve no matter how elementary it may be. Your comment re enforces this and I will will show all steps. I appreciate your comment thanks.
My praise of your video would only confirm what everyone has said, this was a wonderful video. Thank you for all your patience and explanations.
You're very welcome
Thank you so much! Just replaced my gasket using this video. Your explanations were so thorough and the camera work was perfect. Thank you again!
Glad it helped!
Don’t forget the half moon every video I’ve watch on valve replacement forget to mention the half moons nice vid tho
Hey man thanks for the upload, easy to follow... super appreciate it!
Your Welcome
I very much appreciate the video! I'm about to do this job on my 1999, your video is going to save me lots of headache. I will probably end up buying a new pcv just for the hell of it when doing this job, maybe some vacuum hoses as well if they end up being dry. Thanks for everything!
Its not hard everything is reachable. Make sure you get new grommet for PCV ! Highly recommend use OEM valve cover gasket. Good luck.
Gr8 demonstration and step by step explanation thankx for posting : )
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for showing me how to do this I saved over 365 doing it myself all I had to buy was the third 30 mm socket and just and the gasket and spending about $60 all together and did it myself in 5 to 10 minutes
Your welcome ! great to hear !
I did the exact same thing..Bought a new PCV valve after breaking mine during reassembly. My grommet was so old and brittle, it broke into three pieces, two of which fell inside the valve cover. Thankfully, I was able to fish them out of the shallow chamber inside the valve cover.
Yep... that grommet will be old brittle and crack. To all that will be doing this DIY, a new grommet & PCV valve is a must !
Very thorough and showing when things can go wrong. Well done, regards from Australia
Thanks
that made life easier thank you
Glad it helped! Its one of the easier DIYs !
Fantastic! Great job showing everything.
Thank you! Cheers!
This is great, thanks so much for making man.
A heads up with the spark plug tube nuts, quite a few sources I found have it down for 33 ft lbs with the torque wrench, otherwise the cover head won't be on tight enough and further leaks can come. Be sure to tighten the bolts in increments and not all at once, otherwise the cover head may crack. Suggested weights are 17 ft lbs, to 25, to finally 33.
Thanks for the tip!
Thorough video. Well done! I like using Toyota pink grease on rubber seals/gaskets when reinstalling. Also helps hold the seals into their respective grooves when installing.
Also… On those little half moons at each end of the cam shaft on the block, it’s best to remove both, clean them up, and apply fresh RTV between them and the head. I didn’t apply any on top of them like you did, so we will see how it holds up.
Thanks for the info!
Good you used OEM gasket. I went cheap and bought after market. Very tight fit, kept slipping out of groove. Not leaking so might have got lucky.
Great tip! Agree, Many have said on gaskets always use OEM
Changing the one on my 2.2 seems very easy i mean as easy as it gets.
yes I agree !
I died laughing when you broke the pvc valve
Glad it was entertaining!
I did mines already used a felpro gasket very easy to do
Great, it is to do
Thanks for your help
Happy to help
great video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Great job brother👍. God bless.
Thanks 👍
I love this engine. My solara is at 246K strong.
Yep, mine at 210k strong
@@databug88 thanks for the video. No more engine oil leak but now maybe the oil is burning because the dipstick shows Low after a couple of thousand miles. Maybe try heavier oil weight?
@@javierv.5242 Have you check the cam plug? After I did my valve cover it was still leaking and realize I had it was also leaking from cam plug. This is my video on replacing cam plug th-cam.com/video/8TPmeeJDugo/w-d-xo.html
Great video
Thanks!
That is their trademark 😂 let it leak & it undercoats your car & it will literally never rust 😂
LOL I agree
Anyone know how to adjust the lifters? Can you let me know how much deeper into the engine you need to go to get to them? Are they visible at any point in the video?
Hi, excuse me, other person mentioned 36 foot per pound something like that respect the torque, what means that? Thank you.
Your right on that!!! Never easy!!! Trying to get the fuel filter off was a bitch!!!The car is a 2000 Camry and the filter was original. Yuck!!! I'm can get a 30mm socket from any store. I need my car.
My Camry valve cover leaked because of blow by gas from the crankcase overwhelming the PCV valve, so I pulled up the oil dipstick to allow the pressure to escape. The valve cover has a vent tube on the driver side, its internal screen might be clogged.
Nice job but when you take the cover off don't turn upside down over exposed engine internals unless it's pre cleaned debris fell off at 12:40 ish and fell inside which isn't good, grit inside the oil could be a problem but great job.
Great point!
can i put some rubber gasket sealant on the back side? I changed the valve cover gasket one year ago but it started to leak oil in the back side?
Use new OEM gasket.... adding rubber gasket sealant can't hurt.
Does the gasket go on dry or with sealer? Thank you ☺️
goes on dry
What are the tools u used
@databug88 is the PCV Valve a screw or pop off?
its pop off, it seats in rubber grommet.
@@databug88 thanks for that! I can’t seem to get mine to pop off.
Order the grommet you will see how it fits in. You will need new grommet anyway if its same age as mine. On The old grommet just bust it out mine was hard and crack i had use a needle nose plier pull broken pieces out.
It's called a P.C.V. VALVE not pvc, lol and mine broke too, may as well just add it into the job at the start.
lol yes you are right its PCV.... I had work with a lot PVC stuff before.
I’m sorry man But I bust out laughing when the valve broke. Stuff like that happens to me I’m a mechanic and I know what bad words go through your head when that happens. And you do like me get so pissed you just have one glove on and don’t even care anymore. One way to help with the hoses you can heat with blow drier or try hot water it makes it malleable
Yep! Shit happens its all good. Just forces me to complete the job correctly and replace the old crack rubber grommet as intended.
Man I had a hose I had to pull off and I broke it. I almost went to the big box auto stores and pay $100. I ordered the Same hose off Amazon for $20 and it is brand new
Are you in L.A. need the same job done to my 2000 camry
Not in LA. Im not pro Mech just DIYer thanks for asking.
What is the torque settings for the nuts on the valve cover please?
Its in video 17 lbs torque on valve cover nuts.
@@databug88 My book says it's 33ft. lbs brought to spec in 3 - 4 equal increments torquing the two inner nuts first then the two outer nuts. As suggested by someone above, torque to 17ft. lbs, then to 25ft. lbs, then finally to the 33ft.lbs. This should do the trick. As a side note, you may wanna apply some sealant to the distributor hole on the driver side part of the head while you have the valve cover off as this is known to leak on the 2.2l 5SFE. You can also replace it really cheaply with the correct Toyota part.
17, to 25, to 33
@@jefferygordon243I know I'm confused
@towcars5550 33 lbs final torque setting but wanna do every nut 17 lbs first, then every nut 25 lbs, then finally every but 33 lbs
Uwe clean the inside!!!
With the short wire just take the wire off the loom instead of unplugging the whole thing
Thanks for info
Why do you have to replace the pcv valve?
you don't need to change PCV valve.... but if its as old as my 2000 camry it broke off while i was trying to remove the tube. The grommet with be all brittle too and needs replacement. it not expensive item if you going to remove it mine as well replace it it over 20 years old.
What kind of code would be thrown for the pcv valve being broken?
Where can I buy a 80mm socket without spending a fortune?
maybe you can borrow from Home depot ;)
Seems like a crappy design.. I used a Fel-Pro brand gasket and it's leaking immediately. Found an OEM Toyota one on eBay I'm going to try next.
I always use OEM gaskets
Would be nice if you could turn off the adds, or at least if the video would return to where it was interrupted instead of starting over. 7x
that's youtube. if you get premium, no ads...it's cheap too
