I appreciate your viewing time and hope you find value. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the great video! For anyone about to attempt this job I was able to do it without removing the looms or injectors just simply unbolt the valve cover and slide it out with some wiggling, saved quite a bit of work.
Hello Nila, Thank you for commenting, kindness, and sharing your removal tips. Awesome job repairing you own vehicle. Nothing better than learning and saving money on repairs.
Best of luck!
Yes, I'm lasy too, so I'll try do it the same way, with injectors connected.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video. I have a leak on my 250k mikes 2007 Yaris right where the manufacturer "goop" seal is. Going to replace my self thanks to you!
Hello Rene, Thank you for commenting and kind words. It's my pleasure to produce content of value to save others money. My Yaris is a 2009 and currently has 380k miles. Your Yaris has plenty of life left. The water pump seems to need replacing about every 150k miles. You'll know when it's time when you start hearing rattling noises coming from your engine followed by coolant leaking from that area. Its also an easy repair to do.
Best of luck with your repair!
Excellent video clear precise and builds my confidence for this job. Just purchased a 2007 Yaris w/ 289,000 miles with no mechanical history. Went to go replace the spark plugs number one the one all the way to the left was wet with oil wet. Now I'm going to replace this. Thanks mate
Hello Skykid, Thank you for commenting and kind words. The Yaris has a bulletproof engine. Mine has 376k miles on it. I bought it used with 134k miles. It has been getting Mobil 1 5-30 every time the yellow service engine light comes on. The only other maintenance aside from tires, belts, and occasionally the battery you're going to be doing is a new water pump about every 100k miles. The Toyota Yaris is the best vehicle maintenance wise that I've owned. Parts are super cheap. There is no A/C compressor clutch to fail, no power steering pump to leak or need filling because the Yaris has an electronic power steering system. I'm waiting to see if I can get to 500k miles out of it. You just bought one of the best cars ever made.
Hit me up with any mechanical questions you have about it. I've been servicing my own vehicles since 1997.
Best of luck to you, my friend.
Thanks soo much
How to get oil out of hole where spark plugs are? And did you remove the pcv valve or just the hose attached to it.
I own 08 same model. I'm amazed it still runs so good at almost 400k. I've got 240k hoping to get more mileage. My cover doesn't leak but I'm sure it's dried and just a matter of time. Loved the silver paint doing that to mine too.
Hello David, Thank you for commenting. Yeah, it's amazing to me as well. The 2009 Yaris is a great car. I'm still on the original clutch as well. I made another video linked below on how I polished the valve cover.
ruclips.net/video/OvEFrWb1PWI/видео.html
Best of luck with your maintenance!
Got a 1999 Yaris that has a different engine, but I guess 95% of the procedure is the same and the gasket also looks identical at first glance.
Great video and great attention to detail you showed.
Hello Asto, Thank you for commenting and kind words of encouragement. I'm glad you found value in this video for your viewing time. Yes, you're right I'm sure the gasket replacement process will be the same. My Yaris currently has 385k on the odometer and still runs like a clock. The water pump bearing is starting to rattle a bit so that will be the next repair video. I'm having to replace them about every 130k. This will be the third time for me. Alternator was replaced at 280k. Mine is a manual transmission and still has the original clutch. The Yaris engine, at least the 2009 version is amazing. I run Mobile One oil and change it every time the service light comes on.
Best of luck with your repair!
@@vbared Thank you. Did it yesterday actually. Didn't look too bad, only some minor carbon flakes I could see, but these will come out soon. No leaks so far, but unfortunately broke one bolt at the corner. :(
Mine is only has 130k km so far, but it was a city car, so hard to tell how worn out it really is.
Changed transmission oil as well when I got it and shifts perfectly now.
I think this engine can live for another 10 years. Original Japanese cars are really great.
@@Asto508 Great job getting the repair completed. Fixing your own vehicle is less costly and builds confidence to take on larger repairs. Changing the transmission oil was a good decision with 130k on the clock. I change mine every 100k.
My Yaris has been the least costly to operate and like you said will last many years.
Best of luck to you, Asto.
Thank you. Very helpful. I didn't unplug the injectors, but was still able to remove the cover with out any hassle.
Hello, Thank you for commenting, encouragement and info about the injectors. I'm glad you found value in the video for your viewing time.
Best of luck with your repairs!
This was very interesting to watch. What led you to deciding to change the valve cover gasket? I noticed my spark plugs are a little wet on the threads, and wondering if that gasket could be the cause. I'm approaching 200,000 miles and I've changed the oil every 5,000 miles. Thank you.
Hi Miles, I noticed dust and dirt accumulating around the valve cover gasket, which is a sign of a leaking valve cover gasket. The oil on the threads is probably from oil making its way down the spark plug well. That will result in a small oil puddle over time around the base of the spark plug crush washer. The oil is getting on the threads during the removal process when the seal is broken. My old gasket was hard and brittle when removed it, the vehicle had around 280k miles on it. Currently it's at 402k miles and gets a fresh oil filter and Mobil 1 oil when the service light illuminates. The 2009 Toyota Yaris base 3 door is an amazing vehicle, parts are cheap and so are the tires.
Best of luck with yours.
Thx.
OUTSTANDING! My Yaris is a 2007 but this is very applicable if I use my head.
Hello friend, Thank you for commenting. I'm glad you found value in this video for your viewing time. The Toyota Yaris is an amazing vehicle, mine currently has 410k miles on it and still has the original clutch disc. The paint is a mess but the car is mechanically perfect, best $6500 dollars I've ever spent on a used vehicle in 2013.
I hope yours continues to run reliably for you.
Hey thanks for providing an overall scope of this job. Really really helpful.

Hello Domingo, Thank you for commenting and kind words. I'm glad you found value for your viewing time.

Just needed to be refreshed on where the sealant will go before I replace the one on my 03 Toyota Echo. I did another Echo about 5 years ago, but couldn't remember where those 2 spots were, though i guess it would have been obvious. Anyway, thanks so much!
Hi Phil, the sealant needs to be applied across the seams where the timing chain cover meets with the cylinder head.
thank you for your video
i liked the extra tips about inspecting the manufacturers intentions were when they created the parts
now i will do this same job with much more confidence
God bless my brother

Thanks for the video. This was a big help when I replaced the valve cover gasket on my 08 Prius. The engine is almost identical.
Hello Ricardo, Thank you for commenting and kind words of encouragement. I'm glad you found value for your viewing time. Any advice on what to look out for if purchasing a used Prius? I'm looking for one.
Best of luck with your projects!
@@vbared If you’re looking for a 2nd Gen Prius (04-09) I would avoid the 04-05 Prius as they have soft touch paint on the interior surfaces versus the much more durable textured plastic on the 06 to 09. Also to avoid is the cloth interior which doesn’t wear very well. The leather much for durable. As for the mechanical bits I’d check the HV battery capacity with an OBD2 dongle and the Dr. Prius app. Also check to see if the brake actuator pump is operating properly as a new unit is very costly. The pump shouldn’t run continuously and or make odd noises like barking or beeping. An intermittent buzzing noise is normal though. I’d also hold the brake pedal for a minute or so to hear if the pump is making any abnormal noises.
@@vbared I would avoid the Gen 3 Prius (10-15) as they have issues with head gaskets when they reach 200,000+ miles. Gen 4 has the same engine but doesn’t have this problem though as Toyota fixed the issue.
@@RicardoCanedoMX Thank you for your swift response, I appreciate your advice on what to look out for.
Thanks for the video, it’s very informative. I can now confidently change the gasket on my 2006 Yaris
Hi Simon, Thank you for the kind comment. I'm glad you found value in this video for your viewing time.
Best of luck with your repair :)
Really good and informative instructional video. The only thing I would change is zooming in on what you're doing while on the tripod, or zooming in when you edit, and maybe instead of watching in fast-forward, do an overhead picture and use a series of the same pictures with arrows or your finger, pointing to what order you are doing something, and then you won't have to have so much video of you unscrewing them. You will have explained what you are doing step-by-step.
Hello, Thank you for commenting and content creation tips. I agree, much of the repetitive steps can be consolidated into one comment and example. I've added some new gear for just the overhead shots you mentioned.
Best of luck with your repairs!
Wow this is a great video! Can you show o2 sensors etc?
Que buen trabajo, ahora tengo una mejor nocion al desarmar. ¿Que gasket utilizo? De alta temperatura?
Gracias amigo - www.rockauto.com/?carcode=1443496&parttype=10710
Fantastic. Had any timing chain issues?
Hi Jay, Thank you for commenting. I haven't had any time chain issues. The car currently has 400,130 miles on it. The clutch is still the original one, have changed brake pads, rotors, brake drums, shoes, alternator at 290,000 miles, water pumps every 130,000 miles, the valve cover gasket in the video along with Mobile One oil and filter changes every 3500. Belts and tires are replaced every 60k miles. It's the most amazing car I have. I'm looking forward to reaching 500k miles. Anyways I can say enough about it.
yo. how did you get the valve cover so clean?
Hi Kevin, Thank you for commenting. I built a wet media blast cabinet. Here is the video I made on restoring the valve cover.
ruclips.net/video/OvEFrWb1PWI/видео.html
@@vbared ah. that's what you meant by "vapor blasting" the cover. Nicely done. Looks better than new.
@@kevinodenwalder It's a super cool process and amazing that a home brewed vapor blast cabinet can achieve results like the commercial cabinets that cost 10s of thousands of dollars. The major expense is a big enough air compressor.
Nice work, did you paint the valve cover? Thanks 👍👍
Hello Axenz, Thank you for commenting. I didn't paint this valve cover but did apply this high temperature clear paint - a.co/d/44Ne4dn
on a complete set of Brembo calipers that I restored. It's been about a year and they still look the same as the day I did the work.
Best of luck with you repairs!
@@vbared Thanks for the info
Thanks for the video. My Yaris is misfiring because the plugs are all fouled up with oil. I think the valve cover gasket might be the culprit. I see your bumper is secured with zip ties. Something tells me you have had to replace the headlights a few times.
Hello Myles, Thank you for commenting. I'm glad you found value for your viewing time. I removed the headlights, sanded away the yellowed layer of plastic, and polished them. The original clips just disintegrated when I tried releasing them. If you ever have to change your headlight bulbs check out my other Yaris video on how to do it without having to loosen the bumper cover. My Yaris is a manual transmission, has 381k on the odometer, and on the original clutch. I can't speak for the earlier or later models but the 2009 has been bulletproof. What seems to need replacement about every 130k is the water pump, alternator replacement at 300k. The valve cover gasket was the last thing I replaced. It gets 5w-30 Mobil One every 6k miles and GM Synchromesh manual transmission oil every 60k. As you can tell by my rant, I think the 2009 Yaris is amazing.
Best of luck with your repair!
@@vbared I agree. I bought mine with 65k on it. aside from batteries, tires, brakes and a belt I have not had to replace anything . I have about 205k on the car now and I'm still running with a stock water pump, alternator and clutch. I have heard of other yaris owners exceeding 300k on the odometer, but I didn't know the clutch could last that long. I anticipated having to change the clutch somewhere around 200k, but it seems working just fine at the moment. I hope I can get up to 300k on mine, but the roads up here in Maine will wreak havoc on your frame and undercarriage so there is a good possibility that the frame will rot before the engine dies, but will continue to drive it as long as I can.
Excellent tutorial video

Heyy! Quick question..what transmission oil did you use?
Great video btw👍🏽
Hello Nivan, Thank you for commenting and your kind words. I use this fluid in all my cars which are all manual transmissions.

BTW the valve cover looks great cleaned, wish you could do mine haha,
Ps. Never seen one of Newton inches wrench, very cool
Thank you, Make it Nice, for your kind words. It would be cool to do another Yaris valve cover. Shipping it back and forth really is what would make it pricey. The links below are to the inch-pound and foot-pound wrenches I used in the video.

Fixed your oil leak? I got an automatic 155k on it, noticed a small seep underneath, thought it can be the valve cover. Its not dripping oil on my floor at least
Hi Make it Nice, Thank you for commenting. Yes, the valve cover seal was the source of my leak. The most common engine leak points are: the cam seals, crank seals, valve cover seals, and oil pan seal. Sensors that attach to the valve cover can also leak oil. If you see oil drip stains under the valve cover seal, that's a good place to start. I would suggest that after the repair you use some degreaser and a brush to clean up as many oils stains as possible. Doing so will help you easily spot future or other oil that could be leaking from other points.
Best of luck with your repair!
Had a rebuilt done on 2009 toyota yaris 4 yrs ago and cylinder #1 leaking oil, sparkplug and tube covered in oil, how many hrs approx to do this? thnx Denn
Hello Dennis, Thank you for commenting. It's about a two hour job at most if being done for the first time. One thing I would have done differently is clean the engine prior to disassembly to avoid getting debris inside the engine.
Excellent video

Where did you get that torque spec from? I'm seeing it on the Yaris forums that it's supposed to be 8-12 ft lb - 10-12 nm
Hello friend, I believe it might have been from the Toyota Tundra where I saw the 53 inch pounds value. My Yaris is 80 miles away from 400k total miles driven on it and I've had the valve cover gasket bolts torqued to 53 inch pounds without any leaks or loose bolts. I would go anymore than between 4-8 foot pounds on a new gasket. The aluminum with that 10 mm hex bolt will strip out at 18 ft pounds.
@@vbared I did a little more research and found the 1NZ-FE engine service manual. The info is on page EM-213 and it says tighten all 9 bolts and 2 nuts to 10Nm or 7ft lb
Excellent, I'll make a note of that for next time.
Another great video, thanks

Can you fire the vehicle right up afterward, or should you allow it to sit for 24 hours for the sealant to fully cure?
Hi Brandy, Thanks for commenting. I let mine sit for 24hrs and haven't had any trouble with it.
@Victor Bared Thanks for the response! I let mine sit a couple of hours but had to drive it 2 miles home. I will let it sit overnight.
@@brandyfritz1587 Great job, making the repair. Now you'll be good for another 200k miles. Enjoy your weekend :)
When you said you change the manual transmission what is that mean. I have 08. Toyota Yaris and I only change motor oil. But I never hear. Change the manual transmission can you explain me that please olso my car is kind leaking but can you explain that to me thank you for your help.
Hello friend, The manual transmission fluid should be charged every 30,000 - 60,000 miles. Here is a link that provides more details.

I've owned two toyota yaris. Both have oil leaking into the spark plugs. Would this fix that?
Hello Red, Yes the oil from the cylinder head gets into the spark plug bores thru the cracks and deformation of the valve cover gasket. A new valve cover seal will solve the oil leaking into the spark plug bores you are having.
Best of luck with your repairs!
Do you know approximately how much oil you were losing?
For me it was about a quart every 2 months.
HI sir i have 2007 yaris noticed leaking oil from the back right of the block engine that killed my o2 sensor wich was attached to a bracket support on that same back right side of the block not sure where the leak is coming from tho wondering why that bracket is located on that block engine cuz it brought oil into the o2 sensor any advices thanks ??
Hello HORN AFRICA, Thank you for commenting. I haven't had to do anything with my O2 sensor on the Yaris but vehicles after 2004 have two O2 sensors one before the catalytic converter and one after. The sensor probe itself is inside the exhaust path and screws directly to the exhaust system. The bracket that you speak of, is it holding up the plastic plug for the O2 sensor? Most vehicles have many different brackets bolted to the engine that hold these types of plugs and some of them can get oil on them if a leak develops. I recommend that you look for the source of the oil leak most of them come from the valve cover gasket which loses its flexibility and hardens over time.
Hopefully I understood your question and answered it clearly.
@@vbared Thanks for your feedback , I was thinking to check those bolts that hold the bracket to the engine if they are maybe loose and clean the oil around see what happen before further investigation I am suspecting the mechanic that worked on my car when he changed the manifold didn't do his job right cuz that wasn't a leak before that. My last question can I fix the O2 sensor ? can this be cleaned saved even tho I checked with my ohmmeter there a no closed circuit with heating cable??

not eject - Battery
Hi friend, Thank you for commenting and suggestion. You're right, I should have started by disconnecting the battery as a safety precaution. I will correct this on any upcoming automotive repair videos.
