I just tried this yesterday and couldn't get the back two bolts off the passenger side valve cover as it is so tight there. Even removed the cowl for more room and better sight. Make sure you take pics of vacuum hose routing and connectors etc.
Hello, what is the part number for the gasket for 8 shaped vvt oil gasket? And the third one o ring please? Your help will be much appreciated. Thank You.
Doing in a RX350, one of the worst jobs I’ve ever done. It’s say 3.0 of labor, but is BS. The angle of the engine is considerably tilted, you have to take all the wipers arms, motor and tray just to reach the valve cover, and even though still hard to work.
Yup! I have that engine on a Rav4 (pretty much the same situation as the Lexus Rx) and I'm still scratching my head on how to get a torque wrench on those same bolts before I even start the job. There is no space, specially with the ac back there.
Are you serious?! Just the air filter box, you had missed hoses, clips and screws then just cutout that portion of the video... 😂. As expected, used socket wrench extension & hammer to install the gaskets and needless to say, I bet no torque wrench was used. 👎
