Toyota Camry 2010 Base Model Valve Cover Gasket Replacement.

- Just a phone recorded video of me replacing a valve cover gasket for a 2010 Camry.
I also point out in the first few minutes what's necessary to get to the starter if it needs replaced. It's front and center, super easy to access I'd rate getting a starter changed at 2/10. ( amzn.to/2FUxiMB is a link to an Amazon starter).
To change the valve cover gasket you only need a few things, a 10mm socket (amzn.to/2tPVZXy) with an extension (amzn.to/2Nj5LIE), a flat blade screwdriver or butterknife, some degreaser, and the new gasket (amzn.to/35PUupr).
There are about 15 bolts on top that need removed, although I'm recalling the number from memory. Also take off most the wiring harness connectors, to give the top wiring harness slack to move out of the way. The 10mm under the air intake that is on the side of the engine is the most hidden 10mm you need to worry about, although there are also 2 10mm grounds next to the exhaust oxygen sensor and it's connector and some harness hold downs on top of the transmission you need to open up.
Once you refit the new gasket, the torque specs of the 10mm bolts re 96 inch pounds, or 8 foot pounds. Tighten in a outside moving in X pattern. Near the end of the video I grumble about having to take the intake apart to put the ignition coil grommets on, I don't they fit between the spark plug oil seal and the ignition coil. They are a rubber bumper/buffer held on by the clips on the ignition coils. I meant to show me putting everything back together, but I was in a time crunch, sorry!
Overall I'd rate the repair at a 3/10, takes a little finagling but not overly hard. Don't drop anything into the open valves/chain and you should be golden.

Bro, thank you so much for this video. I tore into this job on my 14 SE after watching some older Camry videos and thought the job would be very easy. Boy was I wrong. Finally, I found your video and was confirmed that I wasn’t missing something and this was a bigger job than I thought. Either way, I got’er done and your video helped so much. Thank you.
Glad to hear, I didn't see any others at the time so tossed it up.
Very helpful but my biggest pain is removing the harness mounted on the drivers side. Watched 3 videos and no one showed that part.
The best part is your little helper ... my baby is 28, so it's been awhile since she was that cute. ;-)
Yea, I tell people cuteness is concentrated when they are little, but they grow and dilute it.
@@Crasoum ... ;-)))
If you read toyota tsb-0041-13 (for vvti rattle issue) it tells you to apply a light coat of engine oil to the 3 new gaskets when you install them (the vvti o-rings and oil hole gasket) No mention of using rtv or anything else. The tsb also states 9 ft pounds for the valve cover bolts and shows the correct pattern to tighten them down.
Those VVT Solenoid O-rings don't require any kind of RTV-Gasket/Silicone on them. They are made to seal against the under side of the valve cover like the originals were. Please don't put RTV-Gasket/Silicone on O-ring seals. When that stuff hardens if a piece breaks off it'll get sucked into the oiling system, most likely the VVT ports they're next to and the VVT solenoid will be damaged and become non-operational. If you're lucky you won't trash the camshaft. The RTV-Gasket/Silicone on the edge of the head where the valve cover seal sits is correct though.
I haven't heard this being a problem, but doesn't mean it can't be.
I did clean up most of the gasket material as I was mostly using it to keep the pre-formed gaskets stuck but I'll remember that for next time. Thanks!
I worried about them sticking also . I used dielectric silicone grease on one side to make them stick . Silicone won’t swell rubber gaskets. I also did two trials of putting on the cover before RTV and each time all the O rings stayed put.
Thank you for the tutorial. I purchased a service manual for my camry and it didn't have the torque spec for the valve covers. Thank you for including that
Sure thing, glad it helped!
Daddy, are you talking to yourself?
Yes.
🤣🤣🤣🤣

You only need to remove the spark plug coil clips and the coils
Just did mine, 2012 Camry. Have to say, the hardest part is disconnecting and moving the wires away. In the end I just had my dad hold the wires up while I slid the cover back in. Other than that, it was pretty simple and straight-forward. You video definitely helped me in knowing which bolts to take out, I usually took out more than needed whenever I did work like these. Overall, I am satisfied with how it turned out, only need to check if it has any leaks going forward.
Great to hear, and glad I could help!
Great tutorial.
Great Video
Hello friend I want to know if I could change the 4 o ring seals without opening the valve cover ? because I just have some oil on the spark plugs and I dont have any problems with my gasket plz help thank u
I am preparing to do this job myself and I have the main gasket and the four spark plug tube O-rings, what are the other little gaskets called? Thank you!
VVT Solenoid probably.
VVT solenoid gaskets(2) and oil control O ring(1)
great video but let me add a few things blue silicone belongs on old 70's and 80's american cars use the permatex ultra grey on a toyota/honda also felpro gaskets are not that great this is one time i would rather pay the $5 more and buy a dealer gasket
It was a blue multipurpose RTV. I feel you, but for a valve cover it just needs to resist some oil and air pressure.
The gaskets were what were available the day I did this, dealer parts are always a great purchase when you want to be sure of fit and fitment, but sometimes you just need to knock out the job. Hasn't leaked since, but it's only been a year.
very good vid!!
I'll take the compliment, but my camera, and how I work it is not my strong suit.
@@Crasoum nah man you did a fine job, you explained it very well. I would recommend a better camera angle though, but since you gave good commentary it helped out more.
@@-burak.k-2029 Thanks, I only made the video because at the time I saw no others. If I had the presence of mind I'd have used a stand, but hey something is better then nothing.
How did you get the wiring harness off the stud on the right side
Outside looking in
It’s very tight and I don’t see how to release it
Use #6 reverse torx E socket and remove studs
Do you know if this would be the same steps for a 2013 highlander with 4cyl 1arfe engine, they both seem to be the similar with all the harnesses that sit on top. How long did this take you from start to finish?
I believe the highlander has more displacement and is a 1AR-FE and this Camry is a 2AF-RE but the steps are likely the same, if not they should be at least similar, but this is a guess as I'm not an ASE.
Start to finish, maybe 2 hours? It'd have taken a whole lot less with someone showing me what to do, and me not recording at the same time. Biggest thing is to not drop things into the open ports, and keep the gasket centered when putting it back on (I cheated and used RTV.)
It's not necessary to remove the wires from the alternator
It's been a while since I did this. The additional slack was helpful at the time, thus why I mentioned it.
My valve cover gasket kit doesn't come with the vvt gasket, does it really matter?... Plus I can't find the gasket anywhere to order it separately. Kinda bummed out right now
I honestly couldn't say, as it's entirely subjective as to how pliable the old gaskets are, and what your risk tolerance is. Are you sure the gaskets aren't just under a box flap, or you missed them in the packaging? They aren't big, so they are easy to overlook.

11159H looks to be the part by the diagram, but the picture is of a generic gasket, so you likely will need to contact a parts counter to be CERTAIN of the right 3-ring gasket. 1115936010, 1115936011, 11159-36011, 111590V020, or 1115936010 should be the part numbers that are cross compatible, I believe.
@@Crasoum I ended up returning it and ordering the felpro kit that comes with all the gaskets. I had a Beck and arnley kit which only had the valve cover gasket and the three gasket for the middle bolts. Was only $10 more so it's not a big deal, plus I trust felpro.
good job bro
Guy don't put silicone gaskets on top of oem gaskets , use the oem gasket only, trust that it'll do its job and replace at reasonable miles , 30k - 50k
I think he put spark tube seals upside down
Correction , those black OEM tube gaskets do indeed go in through the top side . I used 24 socket after lubing to get out , push in with fingers after a freezing and silicone grease and final seating with light taps using 30 mm socket. FYI THIS is way different than 2AZ FE videos
Is it the same for the 2012 venza? 2.7
Yea, should be the same, if not really close. From what I understand the difference is piston stroke.
@@Crasoum okay thank you this car has some salt from up north the coil plug wires connector they seem brittle if they crack can I still plug them.back in? If anything will it make connection ?
@@moetic6601 I'm going to say it's probably due for plugs, and if you don't go that route you'll have worse fuel efficiency or misfiring if you are unlucky. If you're lucky then yea it'd be fine. The plastic clips I am careful wit on older stuff but if they break, then you need to visit a junkyard for the connectors, or sometimes I guess Dorman has them.
Use a flat blade screwdriver and some pliers to remove them, and you should be ok.
Is this the same as the 2015 model???
If the engine is a 2AR-FE it should be.
no
Doing this on a 11 rav 4.
That harness is atrocious. OMG!!
Yea, kinda how it is though.
It's not necessary to remove the airbox either
I mean sure, but removing it allows a lot easier access to various connectors and ground points, and the 10 mm bolt that's directly under the air intake.
Agreed , removing air box 3 bolts and I was able to remove the screw at the base of the plastic wire harness bracket and pull it back making valve cover insertion easy
@@patrickthomas6170 I should have pulled the air box.
Broke the plastic wire bracket
It’s fine
😂
Great video
