How to Replace Valve Cover Gasket 2002-06 Toyota Camry

I cannot wait to try this on my own and show my daughters that mommy can do car stuff, too! 😉 Your video makes it look so easy. Very helpful, indeed.

I did this, using this video almost 2 years ago. Worked perfectly. Thanks for the video guys! Also I love how Toyota made almost everything in this car 10mm

I just replaced the gasket on our 2005 Camry. Fairly easy, except the wiring harness on the driver's side of the cover. Also, the ventilation hose on that end was hardened & cracked, so I replaced that too.

Just got done with this on my 2004 toyota Camry thanks to your help. You have also walked me through on my 2003 toyota 4runner front and rear brake and rotors. Amazing content and great channel!

Did this today. Was really straightforward especially with expert guidance from this vid. The only thing i did do was crack the hoses for the crankcase ventilation. They needed replacing anyway so was probably a good thing. Thanks again.

Looks easy. Every man should know how to do this. $20 part. Mechanic will charge $400! Big difference

Great video. Wish I knew a local mechanic that would do this just as you did- correctly, quickly- and for a fair price. I don’t have the tools to attempt this myself.

Just did mine, this video helped a loooooot. So far so good. No leaks

About to do this right now. I do all my basic maintenance but this is first time actually cracking into part of the engine. Thanks man.

Thanks! Was easier than I thought. Changed spark plugs too. Old gasket and plugs were badly overdue.

I would use a little bit of 3M Black Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive for Autos, applying some in the channel in the valve cover where the gasket fits into. That way, it won't flop out when turning the cover over and you reinstall it over the engine. There's an increased chance of the gasket twisting or kinking without you knowing it, potentially making the oil leak worse off than prior to replacement. The RTV where the video instructs is definitely a good idea though.

Probably the best explanation from A to Z. Thank you for this.

Nice presentation. A concise explanation that explains exactly what must be done.

Wonderful video. I almost gave up doing this job myself. You made it look nice and simple. Thanks a lot 🙏

Well done . Very good video. I was wondering if you can use some spray tack on the upper side of the gasket?

This video is Gold thank you ❤ I did this for the first time in 30-40 minutes it was easy with your great help 🎉

thanks!! going to change mine tomorrow after multiple cylinder misfires and discovering the leak when replacing ignition coils

Thanks for your excellent videos. Do you think it would be OK to use a few dabs of rtv or gasket sealer to hold the gasket in place as I reinstall cover?

do we still need any specific tool for replacing spark plugs when you open VALVE gasket.. ? i have damged valve gasket but i wans to change spark plugs too as my car is too old..

Might want to hold the harnesses at both ends back out of the way with cords or bungies to facilitate a straight down angle of the cover over the two studs (or have someone hold them out of the way).

Valve cover vs. Rocker cover. Same thing? I am here in New Zealand and looking to do this myself. Looks like a possible job for a beginner-novice? Excellent video. Nice timing and cadence.

center bolts are 10 ftlbs and outside is 8

Yup excellent as always, got this done, saved me 200 bucks! 🎉

Great video! Straight to the point and made it super easy. Thank you!

Thanks! Dealer wants $337 plus tax. I would have missed the RTV if you hadn’t pointed it out. Very nice video.

As for cleaning the spark plug tubes. I spray Carb cleaner in the tubes without removing the spark plugs, and then I use a turkey baster to suck out all the oil that leaked into the tubes. That way when you do remove the plugs the pure oil will not go into the pistons and may damage some of the emission components.

did this to my 04 camry works well

Excellent video in attention-to-detail

Thank you for your video. Very well done, walked me though the process from end to end.

just finished pretty simple love the vid

This video has helped me so much. 2002 camry 2.4

What RTV do you use ? Does it mattrr or oil resistant or high temp?

Great video thanks for uploading

Ty so much!! Definitely using this video to change out the parts in my car

Would not adding rtv sealant cause a misfire? I just did this job and now I have a bad misfire😢

Hi there! Very informative video ty! What would you say is the normal price range for a job like this?

Couldn’t you put a little bit of grease in the groove in a few places to help hold the gasket while you put the valve cover on?

Tnx very well done! Question- Isn’t it needed to place RTV all around the gasket upon replacement? What kind of liquid did u use to clean the valve cover, was it gasoline?

Since the cover is off, I suggest checking the chain for looseness. Plus the valve cam clearance.

Great video, man!!! Thanks!

Great video just did mine it's still leaking. Going to do it over again. I must have done something wrong

Good video, thank you!!! What torque wrench did you have? The link you provided did not go the one you used.

Hello should I unplug positive or negative terminal before starting due to unplugging stuff?

Nice video

Hello sir . When you removed engine cover . Did you need to drain the oil out sir ? May i know it sir please ? Thank you for your help .

Thank you very informative

EXCELLENT! NO EXTRA NOISE, PROBLE. IS , I KINDA LIKE HIS VOICE. HA HA! IM FROM Califreakshow! Obviously!

hi thank you for this video have a 2003 Toyota Camry and the hose in 1:05 came off the car engine light was flashing and car was pup pup lol stalling i didn't know exactly where the hose belong then i watched your video what's the name off that hose and what tools do i need to remove cover please include clips and wrench please thanks

Is it a bad idea to put some RTV on the cover to hold the gasket in place from falling /sagging down?

Engine w o with out the oil burning issues on some yrs can still give u 300-400k what an engine plenty of power 2. Hard to kill unless u don’t keep an eye on the oil level if u have a leak etc

Thanks for the video but how many screws are around the manifold are there like that millimeters that how many of that are there like 9 total

What do you think about high temp rtv silicon gasket maker on cover to hold gasket in place (leave for an hour), and a bead on motor too ?

I need to do this exact service on my 2007 Camry. Can someone please specify the exact RTV I should use (there are so many kinds to choose from)...Just need a small amount as I am DIY.

Thank you got mine changed using this today!

This is very well done. Thank you for this.

Thanks, this gives me confidence that I can do it.

What RTV?

Great video 👍.

Which rtv should I use?

WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME rtv WHEN YOU PUT IT ON ENGINE sir ?

What to do if the press-release clips on the spark plug connectors break off?

Hi dear can u pls tell me what kind of hose it is which one goes to pcv valve

What a torque needed?

Just fyi, if ur gna bottom the bolts out, don’t use an impact, use a ratchet and hand tighten it.

All the bolts were 10mm?

What kind of RTV is recommended is permatex high temp Red RTV ok?

Is there a head gasket video like this?

What torque wrench is that?

what is the torque value?

What's Nm of the cover screw ?

Where can I get new ignition coil bolts??

Why do you need to torque ? Can’t you just nip them up ?

Remove the 'dog bone' torque mount and you'll have more room to remove and replace the cover.

Did anyone have a misfire??

Using an impact drill 😂
