For anyone curious, that gasket is for 2008 and before models. 2009 and onwards look different.

Ayyyy its the 1A Auto channel guy!

Excellent video. I need to replace the valve cover gasket on my wife's 2010 RAV4 and know exactly what to do now. Thank you very much.

[@DavidK599]

This was spectacular, thank you so much for the helpful information.

[@araserra6622]

What a good mechanic you are! ⭐️

[@fredi7700]

Excellent explanation 👌. Thank you very much!!!

[@georgealm27]

Should di-electric grease be used on the bottom of the ignition coils instead of silicone paste?

[@jcolella]

Thanks for this. Well shot and narrated. Great speaking voice. I’ll be replacing cover & gasket in my daughters exact same vehicle here next weekend. Only comments are perhaps a bit nit picky: Instead of saying “crack” regarding putting RTV on, maybe say “seam”. Also, “especially” does not have an “X” in it : )

[@lordtachanka3035]

How did you go replacing it because.
I want to do the same as it is leaking only the smallest from at back dripping onto the exhaust.

[@kapilasiriwardana.wijayawi7613]

Thanks, well explained 👏👏👏

[@miket4234]

do we have to drain the motor oil first before remove valve cover?

[@tabithaweatherwax6504]

Wow, very awesome how to, thank you!

[@josesalgado7589]

Super nice. Good job.

[@aylacarpenter2884]

Vice 8 pounds not 80 for spark plug connectors

[@ishmailjohn7190]

Thankfully for this..

[@djjouano]

What brand is ur torque wrench? It’s pretty good!

[@joyemilyn9253]

Thank u

[@tyg5265]

Does the rtv need to sit before turning on the engine? Or does it not matter due to the small amount used?

[@Misfit-cm1ku]

Thank you!

[@corbancrowmusic]

Should I not start it before the oil change? I like to get the oil warm when changing it so it flows better.

[@rdaleyj1]

Excellent video thnx.

[@anthonykoertner1521]

My mechanic told me my valve cover gasket needs replacing. I’m looking to do it myself. I purchased the fel-pro kit which comes with some many more seals… (VCT Solenoid Seal, Oil Control Valve O-Ring, Camshaft Oil Feed Tube O-Ring Included; Includes Spark Plug Tube Seals; Valve Cover Grommets Included; PermaDry Molded Rubber Gasket Included)😮. Do you think I need to replace anything other that was replaced in this video? Thanks!!

[@petematthews6384]

So I did a job like this and I have no experience at all with cars but I did not put the coil engine back in the right order that they came out in. After I started the car the electronic throttle body control light came on and I cannot figure out how to get it off. Do you think me not putting the coil rods and the exact same way how's this? If so how do I fix it?

[@rdaleyj1]

The left hand stud came off with mine too.

[@superdataman]

What is the make and model of the torque wrench used in the video?

[@jacoblesperance2208]

Tried torquing the center bolts to 10 ft lb and they snapped 😞, word of caution.

[@ericpagan8574]

Thank you!!

[@boxerbeast]

Any need to remove/worry about the spark plugs?

[@adrianromo-loomis4182]

Good to check while you have them accessible.

[@charlesatkinsatkins5415]
