Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: bit.ly/3feE6tJ
In this video we show you how to perform the valve cover gasket job on a FZJ80 Toyota Land Cruiser with the 1FZ-FE engine.
**Since the removal of the transmission kick-down is pretty difficult, maybe try removing it after you disconnect the throttle body from the intake air chamber and the same goes for connecting the throttle body back to the intake air chamber - connect the kick-down cable and back coolant hose first and then attach the throttle body to the intake air chamber with the 4 bolts.
*TORQUE VALUES*
*Valve Cover Bolts - the Toyota FSM specifies a 15 ft-lbs or 180 in-lbs torque value. We believe this is too high. 160 in-lbs or 13 ft-lbs seems more than enough. We gradually brought the bolts up to spec in 3 crossing pattern passes - 50 inch pounds, then 100 inch pounds, and finally 150 inch pounds. Then we brought the value up to 160 inch pounds and did a final pass. Since these are a pretty small fastener, we don't recommend going any higher than 160 inch pounds or 13 foot pounds. You could probably even go with a less spec and be fine so use your best judgement and don't over-tighten the bolts and break them off in the head.

@RotoRCol 4 года назад

at 38:40 what do you mean by loosing the valve cover bolts until you got to 170 inch pounds and you were able to loose one of the bolts?

@TimmyTheToolman 4 года назад

We were testing to see how much force was required to remove one of the valve cover bolts to get a feeling of the torque value that was used to install them. The factory service manual specifies a 15 foot pound torque value for these bolts which seems too high. But, when we did our test, we found it took 170 inch pounds or 14 foot poundsd of force to get one of the bolts free. Does this prove they were originally torqued to 15 foot pounds? No, it doesn't. But, it did give us an idea that these bolts were also not just tightened to a very low spec like 53 inch pounds for the 5VZ-FE motor valve covers. When tightening them down, we got to 150-160 inch pounds and started to cringe that we might break a bolt so we stopped. There is a chart in every FSM that shows bolt sizes and the markings on the bolts that will give you an idea of what torque value to use. It appears a value closer to 53 inch pounds would have been more appropriate so that's why we tell people to use their best judgement when tightening these bolts. If it were my rig, I would just go by feel like I did when I did the valve cover gasket job on my 2000 4runner.

@thomasmferris7589 2 года назад

Great video! I might suggest putting valve cover bolts back in same hole from which removed, or using new bolts. The valve cover thickness varies and bolts are worn smooth different amounts preventing them from seating in wrong hole. It’s easy to snap bolts before any bight when inserted in thinner part of valve cover. Luckily the bolt will snap above head so easy to replace.

@TimmyTheToolman 2 года назад

That's interesting about the bolts. I think if you don't over-tighten, you're probably going to be ok.

@Bmaenpaa2 3 года назад

Really well produced video. I watched it about 10 times and made my shopping list from it (including the magnet and picks for hoses.) One suggestion. Remove the throttle body before the cables. Then you can pull the whole thing away (like you did with the spark cables) and either set it off to the side or easily disconnect the cables to remove the throttle completely. This saved me a bunch of aggravation.

@TimmyTheToolman 3 года назад

Glad you found the video helpful and thanks for sharing the tip of keeping the cables attached to the throttle body. Wish we would have thought of that. That one cable was a pain to get off and back on.

If you only loosen the nuts just enough to remove the cables from the brackets, you can basically maintain the position they were in.

Fantastic video, thanks for the wealth of knowledge. I do have another question though, have you ever come across an issue where the spark plug wires become melted in? I decided to do that job on my 80 Series and boy was that a learning curve, many, many hours, lots of swearing and multiple tools flying across the shed I finally got it sorted, did have to blow the chambers out with a air compressor before I could remove and replace the plugs. Have you got any tips to stop this from happening in the future? Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

@TimmyTheToolman 2 года назад

Glad you like the video. You're very welcome. I'm not sure if I understand 100% what you mean by the wires melting but I think you're saying the part the slides over the spark plug itself disintegrated. Anyway, no, I've never seen or heard of that. If the engine overheated that bad to melt the wires, I would guess you would have blown the head gasket and/or cracked the head.

@AnimalFriend969 2 года назад

@@TimmyTheToolman perhaps I didn’t explain it correctly, it wasn’t a thing of over heating as far as I could tell, simply they were stuck fast, would not budge a single millimetre, I’m a strong bloke and I couldn’t make them budge, I ended up using really long needle nose pliers to get a better grip down in the chamber still nothing so I had to resort to breaking them piece by piece till I got to their bottom red ring, that was what was stuck fast, that took so long to pull out using seal picks and even a fish filleting knife, all wires but one were stuck like this.

I notice you said to use a little motor oil to insert the new plug rings. Would silicone assembly grease be better for longevity?

Be blessed!
