8 years in and still a super handy resource. Thanks man. I just took the plenum off today, gonna get to the covers tomorrow. Out of curiosity, are you a fan of silicone line to replace the vacuum hoses? 260k miles, couple of nasty cracks, the pcv hose was completely petrified and broke in half when I lived the manifold off.
Dude wish u did it on the fuel injectors step by step I need so much help on my 89 yoda 3.0 I just need a good video so I won’t mess it up and how much did u torque down the 4 intake manifold bolts
Thanks for the thorough video on the 3.0 v6, hopefully i can get this done soon. but i'm so surprised barely anyone noticed you didnt disconnect the negative terminal!!!! and then i saw that socket set right between the battery terminals!!!! hahaha i had to google it last time cuz i forgot which terminal youre supposed to disconnect.
great video I'm a 3vze not to many hahaa I have had my second one now for 6 months and have been trying to figure out these vacuum hoses I'm completely stumped it's almost as if there's extra. Beasically if you wouldn't mind doing a vacuum hose routing video I would very much appreciate it been all over the web getting diagrams I have been to Toyota themselves and they can't figure it out right. Thanks again either way hope all is going well -Dom
Great video! I jusr did this job, and it resulted in....a leak...the drivers side still leaks despite rtv in the fsm specified locations. Used fel pro as you did. Cannot figure it out.
+MaksWerks I did exactly what you did, except I did not put rtv between the gasket and the cover, nothing in the fsm specified doing that. Maybe thats why? I put my 8 beads where specified in the manual. Dont have a tq wrench but i went palm tight with a quarter inch ratchet, most would consider that "loose".
Ya you have to put down a smooth layer all the way around, and put a little extra in those spots. then tighten it pretty tight without stripping screws.
Needs the round cam seals on back of head replaced also..... those need done same time as valve cover gaskets. Out of sight, out of mind for most newbies.....
