I used a 15/16 socket to get the spark plug tube gaskets out. Just place them over gasket be sure to knock them out the right direction and use hammer to tap socket, gasket came out perfectly. To reinstall new spark plug tube gasket just hand press new one in be sure they’re seated all the way in.
I have same wire harness on my cover, The back driver side harness bracket has a 10 mm short bolt at its base that gave more slack , have to take air box out to remove the short 10mm bolt. . Probably help most people . Also stud removal from this bracket is gold for getting out valve cover. Thank u!!!!! I also popped all injector harnesses off
Hi, just watched your video, great info! I was wondering what I could expect to pay for a valve replacement from a regular mechanic, not a dealership. I was gonna attempt it myself on a car I’m selling , but…idk. Thanks!
You mentioned “the oil tube seal isn’t leaking” where is that seal and how to replace? I got oil in my coil pack number 2, any videos or more detail on this ?
Getting it out was not hard, but where is the rest of the story? You said replacement in your headline. I need the torque settings and tightening sequence
Was gonna change the spark plugs on my 2010 Camry and notice one came out full of oil. Would I have to go through all this just to fix that issue on that one spark plug?
The reason the other mechanics take out the air box and all that other hosing and wires is because when you go to install the seals and gaskets on the valve cover and try to seat it back in place, it's a mofo trying to get that pos back on with all that wiring harness crap in the way.
No you do not need to use any RTV on the Honda J Series engine valve cover gaskets. Here is an hour long video on the job that goes into great detail: ruclips.net/video/NRYPcy0-_8c/видео.html
So sorry. Thought you were talking about a Honda. I don’t. Just reverse the steps from this video and replace all 3 gaskets inside the valve cover. The 4 oil tubes seals pop out pretty easily.
Yes use Toyota Seal Pack between where the block and timing belt cover meet. There is a link to it in the video description. Just a pea size amount is all you need.
Yes mos valve covers are a lot easier than this. This one was hard because the wiring harness didn't have enough "slack" in it to give me room to sneak the VC out. Toyota if your listening, please make a plug for the wiring harness that goes over the valve covers on all your Toyota and Lexus vehicles. Then the car will be perfect!
Some shops are saying they have to put the car on a lift and drop the engine down. Now they can remove the valve cover while the engine is out of the car. Seems to make sense. Looks like you are doing it the hard way with the engine still in the car.
E6 socket is life saver, Thank you so much for the clear explanation, you'd be a great teacher.
Thanks for the great video! Hopefully my wife's car will hold oil now. 🤞 Just a note - I was able to get the 3 studs out with a 5/32 socket.

Anyone know the torque specs for putting the cover back on?
Will this procedure works on a 1arfe engine? I have a 2.7L on a toyota sienna 2012.

Thank you
Very nice DIY as usual Bundy!
Thanks
awesome job, the Lord bless you
Hi Bundy, Great video! Can you confirm what Brand of gasket you recommend for the replacement?
What is the torque spec for the valve cover bolts?
What was the torque sequence for reinstalling the valve cover?I’m having trouble finding it.
What is the connect for closest to the air intake. Taking mine off, that one broke too. And you don’t have it linked.

Yes
100% you have to. Unless you have a broken piston ring.
The reason the other mechanics take out the air box and all that other hosing and wires is because when you go to install the seals and gaskets on the valve cover and try to seat it back in place, it's a mofo trying to get that pos back on with all that wiring harness crap in the way.
Im stuck in the rightt wire on top or engine how u take it off the top wire on right i take the bolt already 2014 camry i4
Great video!!!
Do you have a video installing the valve cover back? and have you used any rtv for valve cover ?
No you do not need to use any RTV on the Honda J Series engine valve cover gaskets. Here is an hour long video on the job that goes into great detail: ruclips.net/video/NRYPcy0-_8c/видео.html
@@bundysgarage i mean for toyota 2.5L toyota camry valve cover
So sorry. Thought you were talking about a Honda. I don’t. Just reverse the steps from this video and replace all 3 gaskets inside the valve cover. The 4 oil tubes seals pop out pretty easily.
@@bundysgarage Thank you sir, any RTV was used ?
Yes use Toyota Seal Pack between where the block and timing belt cover meet. There is a link to it in the video description. Just a pea size amount is all you need.
Are there seals around the spark plug tubes that have to be replaced ??
Yes
They weren't available from Toyota but I found some oem on Ebay.
My car is leaking a litte by the coil seal is possible change them without remove the valve cover
Negative. You have to pull off the valve covers.
Great job 2011
Do you *have* to take out plugs for the cover gasket replacement since they are sitting in the tubes ( safely?)
Kind of late reply. But no, you don't have to take out the plugs as they are attached to the cylinder head.
winner
I need to see the 2012-2014 toyota camry v6 xle projects
If I get a V6 I’ll make some videos on it.
@@bundysgarage thanks
That seems like a lot of work just to remove a valve cover. Are most valve cover removals easier than this one?
Yes mos valve covers are a lot easier than this. This one was hard because the wiring harness didn't have enough "slack" in it to give me room to sneak the VC out. Toyota if your listening, please make a plug for the wiring harness that goes over the valve covers on all your Toyota and Lexus vehicles. Then the car will be perfect!
@@bundysgarage how long did you take for this job?
4 or 5 hours I believe.
Or in 16:46 time
Some shops are saying they have to put the car on a lift and drop the engine down. Now they can remove the valve cover while the engine is out of the car. Seems to make sense. Looks like you are doing it the hard way with the engine still in the car.
On what kind of car? Any 4 cylinder from Honda and Toyota you don’t need to drop the engine to change out a valve cover gasket.
Dropping the engine is the easy way to do a valve cover gasket???
C’mon now
Stay away from those shops
Do you mean head gasket? That makes more sense from what you're describing.
In video 12:44 time
