How To Replace Valve Cover Gasket Toyota 2.4L 2AZ-FE Engine

[@phillipclark2770]

Thanks for getting to the point instead of wasting time or playing stupid music. That stuff pollutes KZbin. Good info.

[@ejeruksperes]

Very clear and thorough explanation, exactly what I needed when I discovered a sign of oil seeps in my valve cover. Thank you!

[@andrewtraudes2425]

I'd say a brass wire brush is preferable to a brillo pad since some of them have things in them that will destroy engine bearings in short order. Also, you should be able to just leave the coil packs plugged into the wire harness and just pull them out and lay it to the side. That'll save you from breaking any of the clips. Great video, thank you! It's always helpful to see what I'm getting into before I do.

Nice clear video for this job. I though it was fairly simple but wanted to ensure there were no unforseen tricks. The torque figures were handy as it gives me confidence when I don't do these very often. Thanks.

Would you recommend Amsoil oil in Toyota dual vvti engine ?

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Amsoil is great but for most day to day drivers it’s not needed. Personally I recommend whatever the manufacturer recommends. As long as the oil meets those requirements you’re good. Why do you ask? Are you racing or something?

[@playstation2bigs]

@@BarboursAutoHelp no racing, i want to avoid engine sludge

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

@@playstation2bigs Just use the manufacturer recommended oil spec and change the oil per manufacturer recommendation as far as mileage and time and you’ll be just fine. Never seen an engine sludged up that’s been maintained per manufacturer recommendation.

​@@playstation2bigs You can also use engine oil flush/cleaner to remove sludge when you change your oil!! Apparently a cup of diesel does the same thing but I'm not 100%.

Great video! I'm about to install a catch can to mine after i saw how dirty the throttle body was, which of the two hoses should I be installing it onto?

[@rustamsarymsakov6760]

Hi ! Thanks for your video. It was very informative and easy understanding.I've got only one question.Why you assembled it without using any sealant on surfaces ? Don't you worry it could be leaking ?

[@thelthrythquezada8397]

Sir, what is the name of the hose @ 2:12, please and thank you

[@thelthrythquezada8397]

Oh, seems as I have been here before looking to ask the same question. Drats...

I need help replacing the timing chain tensioner. Does the engine need to come out? If not, how do you remove the wiring harness that covers the timing chain tensioner with the engine still in the car?

[@zombiezedtwin12]

Were you able to find the fat hose replacement i havent been able to find one online at all

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

I have not. Used tape. Lol. Not a good fix though.

[@mckeleli]

This really helps 🙏

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Glad to hear this!

[@thetalungbarrow325]

Do you see that bolt hole under the oil cap, just above that left part of that exhaust manifold? It’s as he talks in the beginning. See the yellow dip stick? It’s the bolt hole above it. Now my 04 rav4 has a weird connector bolted there. A wire that plug into itself that’s bolted to a part of the chassis…. Do I need it? What could it be for?

[@danielyoungblood8525]

My hose has a ripe in it, is it safe to use electric tape on it? I plan on getting a new one. But for now, i just wanna make sure it stays on.

[@GamerX-l7k]

Very helpful video... Do you happen to know those two bolts that holds the plastic engine cover ? what size/type of bolts are those? Thanks...

[@terrariagamer2023]

They're 10mm nuts with a rounded crown on them.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Thanks for the back up!

[@spcf27]

Thanks but i would like to know how long they are? i'm about to buy a new valve cover but those bolts aren't included in the package. i think its hard to find these exact bolts from where i am so i'll just have to buy those double thread bolts instead. that is why i am asking for the length of these. Thanks in advance.

[@terrariagamer2023]

@spcf27 I'm not exactly sure how long (deep) they are but they can't be too much more than 1/4 in. Unfortunately I do not know the specifications for the threads.

[@terrariagamer2023]

@@BarboursAutoHelp thank you for the video! My brother and I used your instruction to change the valve cover gasket on his 2006 camry.

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

Thanks for the video. Do you have any on the Honda 2.4 engine used on the Element, Accord, CRV? I know you have videos on the Odyssey but that’s a different engine. Thanks

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Nothing on that one yet.

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

@@BarboursAutoHelp Thanks 🙏

Hi, When I removed the rocker cover a little piece of the old rocker fell inside the moteur is it important? It was a little piece. Around 5mmX5mm And thank you for your video that help so much!

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

I’d try to remove it from engine if you can. Maybe you can take a video of it to help me understand better. Upload it to your channel and post a link to it here.

[@danielyoungblood8525]

When scraping off the old gasket, wouldn't it be safer to use a plastic scraper?

[@caayydenn]

I've heard this a lot too. And yes it's recommended, however, it usually doesn't get the job done all the way in my experience, and I end up using a razor blade anyway. You just have to be slow and steady.
