Hi. Thanks for info. I believe, that your corolla's piston rings are stuck. This piston ring stuck is very common Corolla problem. You should change new piston rings to your motor and this service helps to oil consumption. And motor becomes also little powerful.

Because of your videos, I save labor so I usually pay for the Genuine Toyota Parts. In these videos you often suggest Genuine Toyota. I replaced this gasket already with a new unbranded one and now I'm fixing the leak again. since my gasket is fine, I'll attempt this form-a-gasket to seal it better. I'm sure the reason is that non-OEM don't have access to the actual compound specs. They get form factor, but not the required engineering specs. It's true in anything from cars to bikes to appliances to electronics. It MIGHT work, but as in my case, it didn't quite seal due to probably being a little less malleable than the OEM spec. Not drastic oil leak, but enough to leak vacuum which threw a P0171 code.

Sir, you need to place and set the gasket on the cover first. There's groove on that cover where you need to insert the rubber gasket, otherwise it's near impossible that this gasket gonna sit perfectly.
@hlq2action3103 жыл бұрын
That was my idea too but, if the gasket not holds on the cover when you put the cover back, how to do? Is it absolutely necessary to add the gasket maker paste?

Hi Peter , a little update. I don´t think it´s recommed first to lay the gasket on the cylinderheat than better do it in der Cover. I changed it now because of oil in the hole of sparkplug nr.3 . Look at the picture i made from the old sealing. It seems if you don´t find the exact position it will not fit in the ring holes of the cover so sealing will be not tight. So the other way first in the cover with some partital glue for fixing then mounting. www.file-upload.net/download-13600950/20190511_1440031.jpg.html

It´s much more easier if you just take that new gasket and press it to the valve cover groove. It will stay there. Then when you add that silicone sealant just put it on those 2 small caps beside timing gear sprockets, no need to put it elsewhere.

Hi. Do you mean, that you need to add oil every 2200 km.
@giovannigarcia45206 жыл бұрын
U should use a new gasket. And only apply liquid gasket to a certain spot that u have too look up in the manual. The gasket gets put in the cover. Not the gasket getting put on the engine. And your supposed to torque the bolts down in a car sequence and to a certain torque spec. Also its a 10 mm socket not a 6divided by whatever he said.

I installed a new gasket not too long ago because of a leak. I didn't use 'glue' for new gasket, but I see I have a very small leak. Another video with another car suggested that you at least need to use some in a couple places, like by the bolts. Before replacing again, I was thinking of popping off the cover and just adding a little glue as you suggest. Could my two little areas, both on firewall side on either side of engine) be the cause of my PO171? I don't find any vacuum leaks, cleaned and finally replaced the MAF sensor and the code returns. I tried spraying the intake with carb cleaner test, which changed nothing, but the code keeps returning (after couple hundred miles after reset). I'd rather buy 'glue' or $15 gasket than a shop to do a $150 'diagnostic.' Oh, the PCV was replaced new with genuine Toyota PCV not too long ago.
@patrickvanrinsvelt4466 Жыл бұрын
Most likely due to the lack of sealant that is required on the 2 joins with the timing chain cover. There are some great diagrams out there with torque requirements

Hi Peter, I have a corolla 2005.. i have to change oil in every 2200kms..it does not over heat..there is no visible excessive carbon in the exhaust..does it require a valve cover or piston ring change??? also, will there be a serious problem if i keep on running it like dis and keep on changing oil ??
@sandukanec4 жыл бұрын
I think it is a better way to apply some high temperature glue on the cover and place there the new gasket, then place the cover with the gasket on top of the engine head.

You said you used 10 foot pounds of torque for the bolts. My haynes manual says to use 89 inch pounds, which is about 7.5 foot pounds. Is 10 close enough? How high could I safely go? Also, is there a specific type or RTV sealant I should be using for the timing cover joints?
@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor9 жыл бұрын
occamsindecision Hello. Also 89 inch is Ok. These bolts crack with about 20 foot pounds. Use special gasket sealant, like Sika or Loctite brands.

It's not a good idea to reuse old gaskets, better change them, the rubber loosing his elasticity and gets very strong with time, this is why it is leaking, if the oil leaks inside the spark plug holes, this is really really not good, the gasket itself is around 15 € a piece.
