Just a heads-up for anyone doing this job and changing your spark plugs: I ordered NGK Iradium BKR6EIX-11 / 3764. Lots of guys, including this poster of this video, recommended these and they show correctly for my 1997 Toyota Camry V6 on NGK website. These are a single electrode vs the double electrode platinum Denso's that come stock. However, after replacing the valve cover gaskets, plug wires, and plugs, my Camry would NOT start. My battery and starter were working perfectly but the motor would not start. After checking all my electrical connections, I was stumped. The only thing different were the spark plugs. So I swapped out the easy to change front 3 to the old plugs and tried starting it. It turned over but was running terrible, like on 3 cylinders. So luckily after reading the forums, I found out you can actually reach the 3 back plugs under the intake without having to remove it. It's not easy and it will beat up your hands good, but I was able to put the old plugs back in. Once I did, the car immediately started without any issues. I can't believe it !!!! So if you have a Camry with the 3 coil wasted spark setup whereby it recommends on the hood "to use dual electrode spark plugs", heed that warning. It won't run with the single electrode plugs.
Interesting, I've not heard of a case where the vehicle won't run at all. The official recommendation from NGK is actually for the single electrode version for this and almost all other engines. Good information for those out there looking to complete the job!
The most important things we need to see, the disconnection of various parts, you edited out or didn't record.
That's what I was thinking he just said do it and didn't show how, why upload an "instructional how to" video and not show how to correctly do the most difficult part!!!!
@@raquelerickson9044 Luckily there are a few other detailed videos from others which show the process.
DIY how to video - "let me just turn my camera off and back on once all I have everything apart again." what do you think i came here for lol.
its a magic show
Thank you for the video, unfortunately you didn’t specify what you have removed to complete removal of the valve cover 8:31
The video edit fairy forgot to montage the shit outta this and just decided cutting the pertinent steps out was the best way to go
Thanks for uploading this video, it really helped me to do my spark plugs today!
I feel bad for everyone watching this, though- I see a lot of comments about pulling out so many components... I didn't remove any of that. It was annoying, but it was entirely possible to work around everything. I moved one vacuum hose and was able to get to the rear spark plugs with an ordinary socket wrench.
I'm sure it can be done, but I was also doing a valve cover R&R at the same time so I removed everything...by the time these cars need new plugs, they typically will need new valve cover gaskets also. Regardless, I'm glad you got the job done successfully without removing all of the top-end components, and thanks for watching!
I also managed to change the rear 3 spark plugs without having to remove everything. Toyota Service gave me the hint to try it as it only take 1/2 the time compared to removing the plenum assy and so on, plus there's no additional costs in replacing gaskets which are way dearer her in Australia compared to the USA. Having a 1/4" or 3/8" drive socket set with varying lengths of extensions and a universal joint type adapter really helps. Two plugs can be gotten from 1 end of the head, and the last from the other head. The job is much easier for people with small hands due to space restrictions.
It says valve cover replacement, we ain't talking about the easiest part of the job.
you don't show how you got the rear bolt off the rear manifold support, or how you wrestle off the valve cover getting around the wiring harness. you miss showing the critical parts
Only because I can't fit a camera in there with two people in the engine bay as well. Thanks for watching!
Do you have to take all the wires, and hoses off just to take the intake off?
It would be better to show how to take off the plenum on video ....
I changed the spark plugs on mine without taking off the intake manifold lol 1/4 rachett and extensions. Thanks for the video still! I can't wait to change my rear valve cover gasket.
How the hell does the big wiring harness that was completely covering the rear valve cover come off? On minute you're playing with the spark plugs then boom the valve cover is off. Nice effin video man!
Very carefully, or it will crumble all over the place, hence why it's not shown in the video. It was a 2 man job in this case. Thanks for watching!
@@redonKiLaus I wish you'd have shown it. I still have to do that part of the job in the morning. Sorry for being rash but I was in the process of trying to get the harness out of the way at the time. I'm sure you can understand!
@@redonKiLaus are you talking about the wiring sheath?
@@Mike-vh5vy No worries, yes, the loom (sheath) on these just falls apart.
Many thanks. You are the best help. I knew it was of a magnitude of this order. I had to see it explained and you did I’ve been handed the keys to the V6 2000 xle. Just sparks. Wow. Thx-
Thanks for watching!
I've changed mine and used the same 10mm valve cover bolts.
No problems at all....
Two months later? Any problems, it's one of those damned if you do damned if you don't things, there is the proper way ($45 extra in parts) and then there is the way that it will work good enough.
Which miles does the Valve cover gasket go bad ?
This one went bad after about 100k miles - it's more of an age based item than mileage. Thanks for watching!
Hello, can you please tell me how did you find out that those bolts are one time use only?
Toyota service manual, forums, and experience (one or more of the above). Very common to only use those bolts once. Thanks for watching!
redonkilaus. the engine looks cherry. I would love to see more of it. I have a 98 Camry XLe. You got more pics?
Shunnon Thomas Just what is posted on CZcams, the car was crashed and totalled by a family member last year. Thanks for watching!
Hello, will these valve cover gaskets fit a 2001 Lexus es300?
+Body comp They should, but double check by entering your vehicle information into Amazon or the website you order them from. The process is definitely the same, though. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much
Also I don't think my es300 has spark plug wires, when I look at it it has electronic clips connected to coil packs I think
Sounds correct, I believe the VVT 1MZ engines Lexus used had coil packs on all cylinders. Only the non-VVT motors used the wasted spark system with wires.
I owned a 2000 Avalon for many years and also an 01 Camry. Autozone sells a spark plug tool that is the perfect height. Takes no time at all. Remove the pcv hose and that ground. Good time to replace the pvc valve, hose and grommet if needed. Avalon had 700k miles on it when it got ran into by an idiot and totalled. No exaggeration it takes 20 minutes to do.
I also owned a V6 Fiero many years ago and changed those plugs without removing the engine like everyone claims you need to do.
How did you remove that PVC valve on the Camry? Looks like a press fit just spins around won't come out, in really tight don't want to destroy it till I get a replacement.
@@kimchee94112 Pcv valve just pulls straight out.
I have a 2002 with exactly the same engine and it starts and then dies have no voltage on the throttle body motor fuse in my scanner it shows showing tbps is bad and that the electric throttle body motor circuit is bad I replaced the maf sensor and the throttle body and the throttle body position sensor and is still throwing the codes and not starting
Did you fixed it? Doesn't help with so many fake parts out there.
You don't have to take those apart, rather, you take the a/c air intake plastic off where the wiper installed, that way, you can access those rear spark plugs. That was the way I did, so that I don't need to replace so many other gaskets.
I needed to replace the valve cover gaskets on this car since they were leaking anyway, hence why I pulled so many additional components off. Thanks for watching!
bs
Are those replacement bolts imperative?
In my opinion, yes, since you run the risk of having the valve cover continue to leak without replacing them and it's not a job you want to repeat. The new bolts are quite cheap and are insurance that the job will go as planned. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
@@redonKiLaus watching what?!
where does it say that the valve cover bolts are only one use only?
I believe it's covered in the FSM - I've heard the same from a few Toyota techs I know as well. Thanks for watching!
He doesn't understand that a VIDEO is where he gets to SHOW what he did and how he did it instead of ONLY telling us about it. I can't wrap my head around how youtubers completely miss this very fundamental element !
Did you need to replace the intake manifold gasket?
I replace all gaskets when I pull a vehicle apart, but some argue that you can reuse. My recommendation is to replace. Thanks for watching!
in your comments u say "we have taken pics of everything"... are these posted anywhere? Thanks for a VERY HELPFUL video
Did you end up using the "Toyota Seal Packing" and where exactly? Thanks
@@vaman86 Noop because the car is on loan to my daughter until we go car shopping for her. Plus outside of the stink the about of oil lost is so very small, have to wonder if it is a good idea to fix it.
am so glad I have the 2.4 4cylinder hahaha
Me too I'm done in 10 minutes changing my spark plugs lol.
Hi boss. What city do you live in? I would love to have you work on my 2000 Camry.
I'm in the Phoenix, AZ area but that said, I don't work on other people's cars, just my own/in the family. Thanks for watching!
Haha I just did mine last week. Man was that fun
Tons of fun. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video but it's very incomplete at the most important parts. Like getting the actual plenum off, and even most importantly getting the back cover out and past the harness that's on top, I mean come on you guys, if you're gonna do a DIY video then show those hard steps since that's where people will struggle the most.
I had a NGK spark plug come apart and the electrode dropped in to the #2 cylinder and caused catastrophic engine failure. I sent the part to NGK for failure analysis and they determined that when the plug was installed at the Toyota dealer, they only torqued it to an estimated 10 Ft-Lbs. After 60K miles, it worked loose, vibrated too much and caused the failure. NGK determined the under torquing because the captive washer on the spark plug wasn't compressed enough. I took meticulous care of the engine, only to have it trashed by an incorrectly-installed spark plug. NGK recommends 18-21 Ft-Lbs of torque on the spark plugs. I ended up having a crate engine installed in the car to replace the destroyed engine because I like the car so much.
Manual 13-14 ft-lb. I never used a torque wrench on plugs, so far so good.
what tools did you use to do all of these? i am attempting to do diy it myself to save a bit of cash mechanic quote me $500 last time aint gonna spend $500
I honestly can't remember what all was used other than what was shown in the video - it's been so long since I did the job. Sorry I can't provide more info on that.
Thanks for watching!
@@redonKiLaus because i have a 02 camry advantage v6 and it is time for me to replace the spark plugs :) apparently i heard that you dont have to necessarily remove the valve cover to access the rear plugs, its just the matter of inscrewing one bolt and removing some wire then you should have access to it :)
very difficult repair. back bolts holding upper intake plenum is a total pia. also the wiring harness is a pain too. make sure u drain coolant before taking everything apart.
well only drain if u r changing knock sensors
Hey mate💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
He just wants us to buy the part from his Amazon links! OK I GOT it, but this is not a DIY video, you're a sales man. Next time in your video show the visitors:
1- What tools do you need?
2-How to open the parts.
3- Never turn off your camera.
it is a WASTING of time watching (was nothing to watch anyway) i should say listening for what you've don . making a video is some thing you should not do
Good job showing how to remove the cover ... the whole point of the video
ridiculous how hard to replace rear spark plugs
but of course you went silicone on the caskets right? of course you did I shouldn't have asked.
This was one of the most difficult jobs we have ever undertaken - in terms of time, tools needed, and parts required. Toyota really could have designed this vehicle to be easier to work on. Add to it, many of the plastic and rubber components were rotted out mostly due to, in my opinion, poor quality parts. I feel as if Toyota really cut corners, esp. in the area of the plastic parts. All of the wiring loom was literally falling apart when we touched or moved it.
agree
agree
I agree ...and I know.
That's why it makes more sense to get a 4 cylinder version. Much easier to service.
no offense but the car model is around 20 years old
Pretty useless on how to remove the rear cover.
I did mine and it's a pain but obviously doable.
spark plugs:: I did all the rear bank plugs without removing any of that :: FOR REAL" I went around the back near the fire wall. Cylinder one I snaked a wrench through the passenger side, cylinder five I did it same but I snaked through the drivers side, cylinder three I worked from the the firewall side.
Geesh! I mean thanks for the video but you left several steps out but I’ll just try to feel my way through it.
3 hr job, with wine and snacks included. I've never worked on a toyota v6, this was fairly easy. Beware of brittle vacuum lines and rusted hardware for EGR tubes. No need to drain cooling system, cap 2 hoses going to intake quickly, you MIGHT lose cup of coolant if you're slow to get some bolts and cap lines. I should have made a time-lapse video of my work.
never liked the crammed in old v6 much now i like it even less
Very smooth engine with decent power for the chassis, but far too difficult to service. Thanks for watching!
I changed the spark plugs in my avalon 3.0 without removing the intake manifold. It was quite simple actually. There is NO NEED to remove the manifold.
As the video title says, it is also a valve cover gasket change guide. You can do plugs without removing the manifold. Thanks for watching!
so u have to take the rear valve cover off just to change out your spark plugs.holllyyyy fuxkkk
You don't have to pull the valve cover (we needed to replace the gaskets on our car), but you do need to remove the intake manifold to do the plugs. It's the worst spark plug job I have encountered on any Japanese car. Thanks for watching!
I couldn't agree Any more man.pain on the ass!!!!!
No details. No good. Hardest part is to remove the bracket next to firewall.
Then drop that bolt and never find it again even jacking the car up, removing both front tires with an inspection camera. Dropped couple more thing between the fire wall and the engine, it's a black hole. That steel tube is in the way, if it was 1/4" higher up would have been lot easier.
Why put those gloves on? They were spotless throughout so you obviously performed none of the work.
I do perform all of the work, but I also do swap my gloves out before touching the camera - don't want to get an over-$1000 piece of equipment covered in grease and dirt. Thanks for watching!
dude, other than the parts needed like the 'one time bolts' this was worthless.
1mzfz is a pathetic design to do any kind of work
Too much talking and you don't show yourself actually doing much of anything. Boo.
What a waste of time!!
