Just a quick video showing how I replaced the leaking valve cover gaskets and spark plug tube seals on my 2004 Toyota Tundra Doublecab. This truck has 304k miles and these were the original valve cover gaskets and spark plug tube seals. It's not really necessary to take off the air intake to get to the passenger side, but it was nice to have the extra room. This had started leaking quite a while back and noticed that the bolts were really loose (like barely finger tight) so I went around and snugged them up a bit and the leak stopped for quite some time, but eventually the leak came back and I knew I had to get this done. It wasn't really that difficult or time consuming, I should've done it sooner.
*Take your time when taking off the ignition coil electrical connectors or wiring harness. They get brittle and will break easy.
Torque specs that I found online for the valve cover bolts:
53 INCH pounds working from the outside in
