- In this video I go over the process of replacing the valve cover gasket on a Toyota 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine. The particular vehicle featured in the video is a 2005 Scion TC. However, the 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine has been used by Toyota for many years on several of their models. So, much of the information, if not all, should apply to most vehicles equipped with the 2AZ-FE engine. (As always, please do your own research and verify.)
Here is a wikipedia article on the 2AZ-FE engine: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_...
Here is a link to the video showing how to replace the ignition coil connectors:

Note: Toque specifications noted in video where found with a quick google search. It is advised to obtain a reputable repair manual to verify this videos proper application.
Note: Use care when using a razor blade to clean the mating surface on the cylinder head. Do not gouge or mare the metal surface as this could lead to oil leaks. This also applies to removing the RTV from the front of the cylinder head and the timing cover where the timing cover mates to the cylinder head. Also, as noted in text at the 4:00 mark, use care not to allow threads that may break away from the Brillo pad from entering the engine. This care should also be used when cleaning the valve cover. Threads could fall onto the valve cover and if they are not removed could enter the engine possibly causing engine damage.

Nice clear video for this job. I though it was fairly simple but wanted to ensure there were no unforseen tricks. The torque figures were handy as it gives me confidence when I don't do these very often. Thanks.
I'd say a brass wire brush is preferable to a brillo pad since some of them have things in them that will destroy engine bearings in short order. Also, you should be able to just leave the coil packs plugged into the wire harness and just pull them out and lay it to the side. That'll save you from breaking any of the clips.
Great video, thank you! It's always helpful to see what I'm getting into before I do.
Very clear and thorough explanation, exactly what I needed when I discovered a sign of oil seeps in my valve cover. Thank you!
Great video!
I'm about to install a catch can to mine after i saw how dirty the throttle body was, which of the two hoses should I be installing it onto?
Hi ! Thanks for your video.
It was very informative and easy understanding.I've got only one question.Why you assembled it without using any sealant on surfaces ? Don't you worry it could be leaking ?
I need help replacing the timing chain tensioner. Does the engine need to come out? If not, how do you remove the wiring harness that covers the timing chain tensioner with the engine still in the car?
Do you see that bolt hole under the oil cap, just above that left part of that exhaust manifold? It’s as he talks in the beginning. See the yellow dip stick? It’s the bolt hole above it. Now my 04 rav4 has a weird connector bolted there. A wire that plug into itself that’s bolted to a part of the chassis…. Do I need it? What could it be for?
My hose has a ripe in it, is it safe to use electric tape on it? I plan on getting a new one. But for now, i just wanna make sure it stays on.
Thanks for the video. Do you have any on the Honda 2.4 engine used on the Element, Accord, CRV? I know you have videos on the Odyssey but that’s a different engine. Thanks
Nothing on that one yet.
@@BarboursAutoHelp Thanks 🙏
Would you recommend Amsoil oil in Toyota dual vvti engine ?
Amsoil is great but for most day to day drivers it’s not needed. Personally I recommend whatever the manufacturer recommends. As long as the oil meets those requirements you’re good. Why do you ask? Are you racing or something?
@@BarboursAutoHelp no racing, i want to avoid engine sludge
@@playstation2bigs Just use the manufacturer recommended oil spec and change the oil per manufacturer recommendation as far as mileage and time and you’ll be just fine. Never seen an engine sludged up that’s been maintained per manufacturer recommendation.
@@playstation2bigs You can also use engine oil flush/cleaner to remove sludge when you change your oil!!
Apparently a cup of diesel does the same thing but I'm not 100%.
Were you able to find the fat hose replacement i havent been able to find one online at all
I have not. Used tape. Lol. Not a good fix though.
Very helpful video... Do you happen to know those two bolts that holds the plastic engine cover ? what size/type of bolts are those? Thanks...
They're 10mm nuts with a rounded crown on them.
Thanks for the back up!
Thanks but i would like to know how long they are? i'm about to buy a new valve cover but those bolts aren't included in the package. i think its hard to find these exact bolts from where i am so i'll just have to buy those double thread bolts instead. that is why i am asking for the length of these. Thanks in advance.
@spcf27 I'm not exactly sure how long (deep) they are but they can't be too much more than 1/4 in. Unfortunately I do not know the specifications for the threads.
@@BarboursAutoHelp thank you for the video! My brother and I used your instruction to change the valve cover gasket on his 2006 camry.
When scraping off the old gasket, wouldn't it be safer to use a plastic scraper?
I've heard this a lot too. And yes it's recommended, however, it usually doesn't get the job done all the way in my experience, and I end up using a razor blade anyway. You just have to be slow and steady.
