[@GUANAJUATOMEX]

Yes we save money A list 300 for this job I fixed by myself thank you so much

[@sweetbrownsuga504]

A single mom found this video to be helpful. Thanks for sharing.

[@88flack]

That front spot seems the a common failure point. Mine just did it in the exact same spot

[@josemarrero7982]

My neighbor’s also!!! 2004 4 cylinder camry le. Must be common but def easy as heck to do!!! Mechanics here in NJ are charging 550 to do a 6 cylinder so i imagine the 4.. prolly save me 300 bucks easy! I do have tools tho so that helps a lot. Great video bro! Very very simple and straight to the point!

Torque Specifications for the valve cover was all I needed. Thanks a bunch.

[@johnbouldin9033]

I replaced the valve cover and PCV today. Each coil clip snapped off and the harness on the drivers side made a snapping noise. Placing a bit of RTV at various points made getting the new gasket to stay put much easier. The hose wiring bundle on the passenger’s side was a pain until I undid the 2nd clip on the alternator. 95,000 miles on the 2006 Camty. It was Moms car. My 2005 Scion Xa has 306,000 miles on it…all mine. Thanks for the video.

[@TheHamburgler123]

Good stuff, man. I looked at a few videos for the same job and yours was by far the best paced, best filmed and most detailed. I appreciate the thoroughness.

[@sutlive22]

I agree. This was very helpful. Also thank you for not going fast.

[@Mojo27564]

This is why I love the Camry all the years It's just wide open meat for you to work on easily

[@currycurry2162]

96 inch/pound that's all I needed thanks.

[@sipzter]

Totally agree with Frank Stear. Clear, concise descriptions of what you are doing and WHY. Keep doing more videos!

[@frankstear2225]

Good video, I like the patience and explanations that you offered to your viewers as well as telling what size sockets you need for the. Excellent job young man.

[@kevinsboxster2310]

Great video. I will use this to change the valve cover gasket on my nephew’s car.

[@developmentdivision122]

[@youfrancis]

[@nguyenngoclinh524]

Very informative. Good steps by step instructions

[@jeetensingh7703]

Good job...thats how its done 👍

[@JackB313]

Thanks so much for this video! It really helped me today

[@trademaster6601]

Perfect diy video , easy to understand

[@rstephe]

Good Video. Wish you could have shown better where the RTV was located (how much area needed some at reassembly) and how long to allow RTV to cure.

[@johnbouldin9033]

I added a small drop of RTV in the groove of the cover about every 5 inches and on opposite sides of the spark plug loops. Then I let it sit for 5 minutes to make sure it stayed put. The black Permatex maximum oil was what I used. Thick and sticky.

[@01sapphireGTS]

Great demo and post. Thanks ~

[@aros007z]

Awesomeness

[@johnhoff2806]

[@michaelkern8856]

[@johnhoff2806]

Thanks champ

[@JoelKreider]

Thumbs up for the Torque Spec!!

[@jennyguzewicz6327]

Nice job well done!!

[@IAmSleepy0]

The coil wire harness! (That little black box, mine wrapped in duct tape) Is it safe to just bend it out of the way while removing and installing the cover? Disconnecting the battery already put me in idle relearn mode and freaked me out so I wouldn’t want to find out any of wire problems 100 miles later 😅

[@jacquesviau6165]

Thanks for the video your help is appreciated. I followed all the steps could someone tells me what I am doing wrong after I installed the gasket, cover won’t fell FLUSH with the rest of the engine. Please someone help me! Cheers

[@therawbonesbrigade2812]

Thanks for the video , doing this today

[@galenflynn398]

Doing this today on an 02 Camry XLE wish me luck

[@galenflynn398]

Update. Went pretty smooth until I decided to tighten the ground nut on top of the alternator and the end of my ratchet touched the dipstick guide and I popped the 120 Amp fuse. If you've ever changed one of those bad boys you'll know what I mean haha 😂 Anyways, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to make this video it made it easy as you showed pretty much every detail. Thank you again

[@johnmonk3381]

This was a valve cover *gasket* replacement not the valve cover replacement

[@Redneckrino]

Wow great video thanks bud 👍🏼🇺🇸

[@user-do9ld8lt4j]

I can't get the cover off it's stuck when I removed the 2 10 mm bolts still won't come off

[@brandonjohn1704]

Where do you put the RTV

[@torymac7409]

There are two beads front and back near the timing chain. Again front and back.

[@SstyX666]

Great video

[@jeromehughes6957]

Very good, thank you!

[@muhammedk9648]

In most vids I have seen, the gasket gets fixed inside the grooves of the cover

[@kaiserwillie67]

That's what he did isn't it?

[@jakeshallenberger7413]

Anybody know what second hose i called i need a replacement

[@0x00000000000000000x]

I’m having a hard time finding the ignition coil bolts. Does anyone have any idea where I can get them? Old Camry I’m replacing the cover has them broken and stuck in the cover and vehicle misfiring. I got mostly all the parts just need those bolts to hold down the ignition coils but can’t find them anywhere

[@developmentdivision122]

I could be wrong, but I believe it is a 6mmx1.0 thread by 7/8” in length (10mm head) You should be able to find replacements at a local hardware store.

[@rayshawn2323]

Dang no one put them back they suck no wonder you misfiring u might not need new ones lol

[@rayshawn2323]

96 inch pounds what is that in foot pounds
