Hello everyone, welcome to ‪@AutoScholarwithMrB‬ ! Today we are doing the simple job of replacing the valve cover gasket on this 2010 Toyota Prius hybrid. Before starting this job, disconnect the orange service plug and the battery for safety!
I did this job with the wiper cowl removed, but I am not sure it is necessary. I does make it much easier if you do, and only takes a few minutes.
If you order the gasket from Toyota, don't forget to get the grommets for the oil passageway and the center bolt, along with the spark plug tube seals. These come with the Felpro kit found at most automotive part stores.
Any questions? Leave them in the comments!

Just dropping you a big "Thank you!" for taking the time to do this! Always appreciate those who are willing to go the extra steps required to not just do the job, but film, edit, and post!

Thank you for the very informative video! Also, how to get the stuck those seals off if they’re bonded to the cylinder cover? They’re soo stiff and can’t get em off

I'm gonna wait right here for the head gasket repair, or oil consumption repair video. I feel that's the natural progression for this 3rd Gen.

@AutoScholarwithMrB 2 года назад

Yeah, with 250k on it, I told the owner that it would probably be the next repair.

And now I have his daughters car in here for a head gasket, 140k miles :/

Thanks again for another great video! Thinking about doing this. Do you have any videos on how you organize the parts as they come out. I'm worried I will not remember how to put everything back together.

The Felpro sparkplug gaskets are slightly larger than the OEM toyota ones, which makes a big difference when installing the new ones. Instead of hammering them in, you only need oil around the outside and you can push them in without even needing to bend the tangs back. I highly recommend paying the $20 for all 4 and making it an easy 5 min job to replace those.

What happened to the installation of the actual valve cover gasket? That can easily be put in incorrectly.

Nice presentation what's the torque spec sequence. Thanks

When he was putting in the new coil seals with the socket I so waiting for him to smash that finger or pinch the skin lol 😂

@herrcobblermachen 26 дней назад

Doesnt the gasket need a drop or two of silicone sealant in a select spot or two?

@dandia7150 Год назад

Did you apply sealant to the joint between the timing cover and the camshaft housing as is recommended?

@simpsonchan4404 Год назад

I was thinking the same thing too. Great video nonetheless, but that sealant between the valve cover and timing chain cover should have been mentioned.

@dannyshi7136 Год назад

What is the part number of the grommet for the center long bolt on top of the valve cover gasket? And where can I get it?

@AutoScholarwithMrB Год назад

I am not sure, as mine came with the valve cover gasket set.

@ronlopez3364 Год назад

What is the actual part name of the 3 holed gasket? Thanks

Followed the video to the T and I can’t for the life of me get the tube gaskets to go in. Used the right socket size and even a seal driver and I’ve already damaged all the tube seals. What could I be doing wrong? I’ve tried tapping them in light and with a little force. Any extra tips will help please.

@docsamson2299 Год назад

Ugh, sorry to hear that because I may or may not have had similar problems in the past! I used the old ones flipped over and hit firmly, yet gently, around and around until they were seated. I still had to tap a few of them back out just a touch because they went in too far. Don't understand why 1) Toyota put those stupid tabs in the way. Like, if that's the only thing keeping your gaskets in place, you've already got a major problem... and 2) why they wouldn't just have the seals "bottom out" so that you CAN'T tap them in too far.

@@docsamson2299 this is enough for me to not touch this when I open the engine for other things

@docsamson2299 Год назад

@@chicken29843 Yeah, gotta know your limitations! YT vids have helped me out with so many "fix it" projects, but I've also gotten way in over my head... lol.

is leaking or why you change it

@AutoScholarwithMrB 28 дней назад

Yes, leaking

So when I take my coils out, I can see inside the engine, looks like I didn't even have those gasket even installed.. Been having miss firing issues and all.. Who the heck would do that! Bought a used car and that's what I get
