Great video…well done. One tip from a veteran jet mechanic. Torque specs are from the center of the torque wrench handle and not the end. You’ll get a more accurate torque to spec by gripping the wrench like you grip a screwdriver. Never from the end of the torque wrench. 👍
Nice job! This is so thorough and I like how you detailed all the steps, especially the important ones like rtv placement, not to use too much, and silicon at bottom of ignition coil at spark plug interface. I appreciate the time and attention you devoted to this video!
Superb video. Of course, the linked 1AAuto is selling the gasket at $15 higher than MSRP for a FACTORY Toyota gasket, TWICE the street price of a FACTORY Toyota gasket, and 4X the price of an aftermarket gasket. Kinda, sorta, discredits the whole, "√ Save Money" schtick in the pinned comment, doesn't it?
Make a template from cardboard or foam and stick the bolts in place as you remove them. Then there's no making a mistake with which bolt goes where. I prefer foam if I have it.
What a terrible design for this engine cover! One of the nuts is attached to a stud that doubles as one of the valve cover bolts. So as I removed that nut for the engine cover, it removed the bolt below it. There's no telling how many times that's been done by me and others.
good day, do you have an idea why my intake manifold explode when I connect my vacuum hose in front to throttle body? the one that has no pcv valve. is it because my engine has a blowby?
I connect it twice, and explode twice so I conclude that is the reason. I bought this car that has no vacuum hose connected in front so I dont know the history.
Great video tutorial. Covers every point really well. my corolla had some suttle differences in regards to clips but this was 99% accurate for my model. Only thing of caution is be very careful with an old gasket as they are brittle. I recommend this video to any d.i.yer.
When I put the new gasket on, it just flops around and it didn't seal properly last time when I went to put it back. Now I have to open it up again and probably buy a new gasket?
