[@JJBanuelos]

Didn’t realize how many vacuum hoses are lurking under the 2Jz intake! Great video.

He's going to knock it out as fast as you can while sipping on a brewski lov this ish and thanks I needed to do this myself and your video saved me money

[@dariuswilkins1316]

Dude, You posted the video of the rear brake replacement video on r/is300 once and instantly subbed because it was detailed and thorough. My 01 is my daily. It needs a ton of work, so your videos are amazingly helpful!

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Thanks Darius, a thumbs up is a great thing!

Nice great video, i bought the gaskets and was a bit confused on why i got 3 so im not the only one

[@TheHoodGuru]

Great job. I got one of these cars for 19 3/4 years and never did any of that. Your channel is inspiring me now that its my secondary car. I liked, commented and subscribed.

[@mrpaiute9013]

It helps to see other people do this work, thanks for the video

Thank you

I’m missing in cylinder 5/6 going to change valve cover gasket and spark plugs if that fix it awesome if not I will be doing coils/plug wires. Awesome video!

[@diegotorres1194]

You deserve more views this was entertaining and informative

Thanks!

Throttle body sensor crank but no start I change the sensor it crank but don't go all the way

[@tk2tone883]

For what its worth, thanks for the video. My is300 is leaking too, gonna try to do it next sunny day. Wish me luck...

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Good luck, the comments are extremely helpful 🤙

[@Phannty]

Did replacing the valves cover gaskets also fix all that oil that was pooled in the spark plug well?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Yes

[@ridedawn2071]

Love the clutch dumps on the 3/8 Milwaukee 😂

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

All day

[@nickleafs467]

Bro I have everything loose but they put so much gasket sealer around the throttle body /air intake gasket I can’t even get it to move

[@Nellyville919]

You made that shit look easy asf 👌🏾

[@Nickodelic]

Late to this, but really enjoyed this style of video. Straight work and real chill vibes!!

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Thank Nick, can always count on you to leave a great comment.

[@aros007z]

When you pull out the old plugs with the plug wells filled with oil and gunk Where do you think all the gunk goes? Straight down in the cylinder scratching cylinder walls Fouling plugs and o2 sensor...not good at all!

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Oh no. Lol.

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

You should make a KZbin video.

[@eniocastillo9622]

Great vid. This will be me in a few days 😢

[@jdz7195]

Love the background music

[@JeepComeTrue]

We have the same leaky deal. Did that valve gasket fix your leak issue?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Yes, no more burnt oil smell.

[@DoJo-HyGe]

Subscribed and thanks for the great videos. Will you ever be doing the diff fluid? I'm new to repairing cars and would love to see where you place the jack stands for optimal safety, as going under my IS300 is scary to say the least. Anyway, thanks again for the great instructional vids!

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Thanks For watching and Subscribing, i have a couple is300 videos where I'm working on the suspension,, maybe 3... you should be able to see where i have the stands, I might drain and fill the fluids one day, but more than likely i'll end up replacing the rear diff for a LSD unit, and the transmission will get swapped with a cd009 infinity 6 speed. Here is the is300 playlist link. Oh, and if you hit me on instagram you can Direct Message me any tech support you need, i can send pictures and diagrams. thanks again. kzbin.info/aero/PLBkNUwyx9olH_xpFoinZlENc2GERGlMQK

[@justinlovell1767]

So the spark plug tubes are only filled up with oil like that due to the valve cover (rocker cover) gasket? There's no spark plug tube seals or anything like other cars have?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Yep,no spark plug tube seals .

What did u do with all the oil that was in the spark plugs?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Used a paper towel to soak up as much as possible.

Did you use gasket sealer on the corners? I yes, what kind?

Thanks bro , glad you enjoyed it. 👍

How long did it take u to do all that?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Its hard to say because I have to use a camera at the same time. I could knock this out in an hour or two probably.

[@tylerwiegel7997]

How much did this cost you? And what brand of gaskets did you buy?

6:50 lol it's the "Vape Nation" song

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Not really sure where I got the music from, but sounds like I need to use it more.

[@trappistachel]

Wait...how come you bought a car with a quarter million miles on it? Also, why did you switch to the gray colored ratchet, did the Milwaukee start getting too heavy?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

It was 800 dollars. The grey one is a 1/4 inch and not as powerful and I'm just used to working with both, it cuts down on switching sockets, the Milwaukee a 3/8, and is twice as powerful as the grey Matco one. Its head is twice as big so its down fall is getting into tight spots.

[@trappistachel]

@@Donnythelatemodeltech I'd buy it too for 800 bucks.
