- In this free video I replace my busted Valve Cover Gasket.
Vehicle- 2002 Camry LE 4 Cylinder
Tools needed- 10mm Socket with 1/4 inch drive ratchet
- Channel Lock Pliers for the hose clamps
- Rubber Mallet
- Valve Cover Gasket
- Time and effort
Tip- when you remove your engine cover use a vacuum to suck up any debris around the valve cover.
Here is the part number for the PCV Valve Hose - 12262-0H010
Thanks for watching!
I'm glad it was real and not a "perfect world" video because that shows that things we don't expect can happen.
Awesome video... Thanks for including the mishaps and incidental stuff. You'll never know how much time/money loss and aggravation you've spared people.
Too much work and it does not look easy. Paying the mechanic to do it seems like a better idea.
This is comedy hour here. I would stop watching but it just like. What's next...
I can’t find the leaf! Plus, mine didn’t have after-market holes!!😁 Nah, awesome informative video! Thanks!
Love this video and how true and raw it is...dropping the wrench ,breaking the hose not to mention not being able to afford another valve cover, THIS IS ALL THINGS I STRUGGLE WITH...we are all human trying to make it another day
Perfect video for me. I watched you break a hose. Mine was looking just as tight so I removed the opposite end like you suggested. Bingo-that saved my hose. And don’t forget to remove those center bolts. I did at first and could have wrecked my valve cover like yours. Then I noticed the center bolts! This is exactly what TH-cam is best at.
Thanks to you, today I did it in my Rav4 2007, almost same engine as Camry, and saved $200+ if taken to the Toyota dealer. Also, a pro will charge me something (less than Toyota), but still had to wait in line. I just watched the video and read some useful hints from the comments section. Thank you all!!! Just $13.99 and taking it easy for 1 hour (this is the first time I do this). Again, thanks !!!
Thanks for not swearing!
What do I do if I don’t have a leaf to remove????
Thanks for keeping it real! I laughed and learned. Nicely done.
Thank you for showing us raw footage of you changing the gasket. For some reason when people upload videos of them changing parts they just show the before and after and make it look simple, you actually showed the work. Great video.

If you want to remove any type of hose try heating it up a bit it makes job a lot easier 😉😉😉 works for me every time 😊
Pour hot water on all rubbers hoses before you remove,saves you damaging or even breaking them.
This video is 5 years old and it's still helping people. ☺👍
a few things:
When you replace the valve cover gasket, it is better to replace also the pcv valve and the brittle hose. One of the reasons why the gasket leaks easily is that the pressure cannot get through a dirty or malfunctioning pcv valve. Use the oem for pcv valve and hose because that is not that expensive. I used fel-pro gasket because they say it was designed to be adaptive to old cover and doesn't need gasket maker. Also, while removing the cover, be careful and think that the old gasket might be already broken and small piece might drop into the engine while moving the cover. I like your video because it shows the truth about what might really happen during the process. I also broke the end of my pcv valve hose(lengthwise) because it is difficult to remove and I inserted the flat srew driver tip to remove it.

Very funny video. Almost died when the hose broke. I love your high-tech tools, like the paint scraper! This is a real job from a diy man at home.
