How To Change The Valve Cover Gasket On A 2005-2010 Scion TC

[@svaz2006]

I just wanted to send a big 'thank you' for the vid. My son & I changed my daughter's valve cover gasket (keeeriest, getting that old valve cover gasket off the metal was a PITA), saving her a ton of $$$, and giving us some quality time together.

[@5iFTYHFaviation_addict]

I appreciate channels like this. At first, the sound of replacing stuff like this seems tedious but in fact, it's not that hard, kind of a challenge but not impossible for a noob.

[@Talonfrank1]

Thanks man. Just did this on my 09 tc. It was puddling oil on the header manifold there in the front! I have to constantly put oil in my car cause it burns oil real bad. It never leaked oil that I noticed on the ground, but recently noticed oil puddling on the header manifold! It cost me $32 for the gasket and $20 for a small bottle of that one second gasket goop. Thanks for your help! I love this little car so much! Just replaced strut and brakes and tires. Got at least 50,000 miles with no more major maintenance 😇

[@jonpascobillo]

Thank you for this video. I just finished replacing my valve gasket on my '06. Easy peasy. Probably saved a bunch of money. The old gasket came out in a dozen pieces. But no engine codes so far. 🎉

I like how you actually hold the camera so we can see n talk so we can hear .great video

[@ellismeyer1716]

Amazing video, first one I clicked on a glad it was this one. I appreciate the detailed procedure and breaking it up into clear steps.

[@jamesblinzler7421]

Doing this same project on my 06 tC. Just a tip on brittle hoses. If you just get the clamps moved back then unscrew the pvc valve leaving it connected to the hose and take the breather hose loose from the intake side the hose hasn’t been exposed to high heat from the head it will be more pliable and likely come of with out cracking the hoses. Tech tip from ole JB. Thanks for the video. It helped quite a bit for the first time of pulling a valve cover on a Toyota 4 cylinder.

[@2104mpi]

Could you please add the link for the replacement hose? Other than that very helpful video.

I like how thorough you are and the time savers. Great work!

[@wcdjmase]

Well, done with the video, I always appreciate when experience is shared with those like to wrench on their own vehicles.

[@16180]

You said there would be a link to get that replacement vent hose. However, after reviewing all your links I did not come across any that show where to buy that hose

[@victorandrade422]

Alexander Alqasem where did you find one? I can’t find one in any auto part store

[@Anonymous_________]

Any online shop

[@16180]

@@victorandrade422 I ended up going to a local hardware shop called Ace. There they have spools of various diameters of hose as well as an assortment of clamps.. Cost less than a dollar. My apologies for the very late response as I'm sure you found a workaround by now. However, I hope this info may benefit you in the future with other similar needs.

Remove the hoses from the other ends! They were not hard or break when servicing my 2005 Scion tc.

[@BryanCook-o1b]

The video was excelent! Thank you But I noticed my valve cover is blown a hole around the number 1 coil sleeve Do I NEED to replace the valve cover?

Thank you so much for the great ,well performed, lesson. GOD BLESS YOU MAN.

[@Nutrispark_Wellness]

Very Nice video.Thank you. I need to fix my daughters 2005 scion. Quick question. Do I need a clamp or special tool to hold the engine together while it seals? How long do I wait to start driving again after I change the gasket?

Raymond Ray thank you. Did everything go smooth for you?

[@raymondray3232]

@@HowtoAutomotive , I just finished changing it. So far so good. My only concern is that hopefully I did not over tighten the bolts. My torque wrench did not seem to be working. Its not leaking so far.

[@raymondray3232]

Thanks again !

[@beccamacdonald4503]

Oh this is fantastic!! Makes it easy to follow along!!

[@soheilzamani17]

I have some Hondabond could I use that instead of the Permetex Right Stuff Black one minute gasket?

[@ggluworld25]

Do you need to remove sparks before or just coils

[@spenegdt]

Excellent video. Very informative step by step. Helped me immensely. Thank you.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

spenegdt glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!

[@xw0nd3rmanx_]

Do u have to remove the spark plugs too??

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Brian W Gamez no just could. I would pull one out and check to see if it’s in good shape if not replace it if they are reuse them.

[@joeylk4d4]

Exactly what I needed, thanks.

[@phantom2k485]

Is there a torque spec you need to put the bolts back on or will a regular 3/8 drive do

[@octavioaguilar9821]

Did you by any chance have to remove the spark plugs to remove the valve cover? If you could let me know I will greatly appreciate it. Looking forward to doing this on my 2007 Scion Tc! Thank you and have a wonderful day.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

There’s no need to remove the spark plug just the coils. But if you haven’t done them yet this would be a good time to do them.

[@Thrasher127]

Maybe a stupid question but do you leave the spark plugs in while doing this. I pulled on out and it was covered in oil.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I would recommend changing them at this point.

[@leroyscott9810]

Does the battery need to be unhooked to work on the engine?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Leroy Scott not for this job.

[@leroyscott9810]

How to Automotive why did you have to screw in the last bolt before connecting the last coil?

[@glennfields8121]

I didn't find your link to the PCV hose.

[@agrutter87]

Thanks Brian

[@trentbarlow2880]

What is the name or part number of the hose in the back? Not the vent hose but the other one in the back of the valve cover. Mine broke and I need to replace it but idk what it’s called. Help!

Is the Scion TC oil burning issue due to the valve over gasket?

[@kingtrucking9467]

Yes

[@rpmartin8650]

No

[@YOSHIMOTO_HI_SPEED]

If only ut was this easy Heat blankets applied on the new vent lines I bought Goes a long way and if it can protect lines from breaking( like mine )

[@aliennemesis0663]

So i see NO link for that crankcase breather hose to order. Why... Well because you probably wasnt able to find that anywhere not even on Auto part store website either. Only one i can find is hose one for the pcv valve hose but not the crankcase breather hose

[@phukhuneerjrz]

How much you torque?

[@glennfields8121]

where is the link for "Right Stuff"?

[@BillyBob-ek8lm]

you can leave the spark plugs in ?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Yes leave the plugs in. It would be a good time to change them out in this process though.

[@animi504]

I can’t find the “vent hose” online at all!!!! Has anyone had any luck???

[@Clintmorel29]

The hoses you have to get from Toyota. I just bought both. One is the pcv hose and the other is a breather hose. Both need to be changed because they will be dry rotted and stiff so they will break

[@kishaalice5094]

What’s the name of the vent hose to the right ? I didn’t see it in the info ?

[@gr04ch01]

Did you ever happen to find the part number for that vent hose on the right?

[@aliennemesis0663]

It's the crankcase hose on the right of valve cover and the one in the back is the PCV hose. The crankcase hose is only found on ebay
