H doesn't have my schedule. Easier for me to do it.

Good work cutie pie. It solved my oil consumption issue

Did you do that afterwards? I'm planning to replace also could u share experience

where are they and what are they , specifically?

Good idea to replace the PCV. The piece that fell off at 13:50 was some black tape from the wire loom.

I'm in the process of doing this exact project on my 03 Camry. I used a little L shaped hook to get those ring seals from the spark plug area out. Easy peasy.

A PCV valve is very cheap to buy and replace. And if it is filthy and/or clogged it can cost you big money. Just replace it every year or so for cheap...

Yeah... not really wanting to do the head gasket...

Thanks! I appreciate it!

@@JoDaddysGarage so if you use this fel-pro gasket... You dont need sealant? Thanks in advance

There was some residual oil, but not enough to get on the new plugs. Good point though.

Actually, you could probably use the cheaper plugs. The only real advantage is life span for platinum or iridium plugs. There are plugs made for different "heat" ratings, but a stock Camry will not benefit from them. The clerk may have been focusing on the upsell. Here's a little article: mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/2013/what-is-the-difference-between-normal-platinum-iridium-plugs

Not trying to be argumentative, but based on practicality and principal, I have to disagree with you. I was at AAP to exchange the plugs no matter what the clerk said due to the sticker on the engine and the information in the owner's manual. And since the store clerk gets paid by the hour and not on commission, he would have had no incentive to upsell. Secondly, with cast aluminum being less tolerant to heat than cast iron or steel, a plug that generates less heat is totally logical. Thirdly, the first comment in the article of the link you attached states, "Stick with what your owner's manual calls for unless you have a reason to upgrade/modify." Fourthly, why would Toyota care enough about how long a spark plug lasts, to put a label on the valve cover and print it in the owner's manual, if cheap plugs wouldn't damage anything on their high quality engine? The plugs I replaced were iridium. They had at least 150,000 miles on them, in an engine with 220,000, without any performance problems. I'd say the previous owner that got upsold on them got his money's worth out of them. I hope your son's valve cover doesn't warp or crack before those cheap, short life plugs you used in it need replacing... I think a new valve cover might cost more than the $18.00 difference I paid on the clerks upsell. Especially since that's how much just the rubber gasket for it costs. That is unless you buy it at a junk yard after taking it off the junk car. Banks just aren't paying high enough interest rates to turn the $18.00 I save today into $150 plus labor a year from now... Good luck.

Sounds good to me. If you're happy, I'm happy. There is a reason why the cheaper plugs are considered an "exact fit". By all means, follow your owners manual, and any manufacturer references. On a side note, the temp of the plugs will have no affect on the valve cover. No relation whatsoever.

Yeah. The reason for the exact fit is because they have the same screw threads and will screw in properly. Whether the heat has an effect on the valve cover or not, Toyota (the manufacturer of the best performing engines within their class) has a reason for saying to use iridium plugs. And since they receive no compensation for saying that, it must be to prevent damage to their superior engine, leaving people thinking it's the quality of the engine when it goes kurplunk on the side of the road.The reason for my original comment was to inform anyone that watches your video of the bit of information you left out in case the engine they are working on doesn't have a sticker about the plugs, and they don't have an owner's manual to the car. With neither one of us being ASE certified mechanics, I suggest they go by the advise of the manufacturer of one of the best automobile engines on the road so they can be as happy as I am that I did.

Ok. Point of reference, I was ASE certified in a variety of fields when I had my shop. Iridium plugs will last longer, guaranteed. They use them to extend the life of their warranty claims, just like all current manufacturers. Good points though. Glad you found the video helpful.

Yep, you need that

What is RTV?

I Agree, I just did the valve cover gasket replacement on my 03 Camry and you NEED to use RTV on that spot towards the passenger side of the motor. If you look closely, you’ll see that it’s actually a 2 piece unit and the RTV is required to complete the seal.

Hi. I want to do the same, how is it now? Any leak since?

@@George-mk7lp the new gasket works great it's been 2 months and no issues so far

@@trini_boi2414 thanks! One more question how strong bolts should be tightened up?

@@George-mk7lp I hand tighten mine you don't want to strip the bolt..after a couple days of driving recheck to see if the bolts might need further tightening cause of engine vibration..

@Loyal Royalty they lucky that car ran fine with oil on the spark plugs cause for me it was a headache..the oil getting on my spark plugs cause my car to misfire so bad that when I came to a stop sign or stop light and I step on the gas the car won't move or move slowly and I learned if the head gasket is leaking it would do that cause of the oil on the plugs I'm glad it was something this simple and not a major problem..

I agree. I didn't have time to dig into it though.

It wouldn't hurt.

I'm not sure which ones you're referring to.

Katherine T if you have a socket wrench with 10mm socket, they all come off fairly easily. Hardest part is working the cover back in place under tbe wire assemblies. Good luck!

No need for that.

@@JoDaddysGarage Thanks!!

It did, but it also revealed a leak on the back side of the engine. I'm assuming a head gasket. I used some sealer in the radiator to slow it down until I can take it apart sometime.

Uh... no... But I had my own available.

my dad wulda kikd my butt....

Sorry, I can't offer help there.

James Dean that's a job for a machine shop

Depends on their hourly rate and parts cost.

Without being able to see it or hear it, I can't really say. Has the fuel filter been changed ?

I don't know if this is the answer that will solve your problem with the rough running engine after the starter replacement, however, anytime the battery has been disconnected, after reconnecting it, the car's computer settings/memory will have been wiped out causing the engine to run like it needs a major tun-up. However, the problem will correct itself after being driven from 50-100 miles of normal driving. I hope that's your case and it corrected itself before you spent additional money to correct it.

Hi There. I am having the same problem with my Camry 2003. Would you please tell me what you have done to fix it? Thanks in advance. I can share my email address with you.

Clean fuel injectors

There's a guy on here where I found the answer to this question. The computer needs to be reset after the battery has been disconnected. To do that you turn the ignition on and off twice and then start the car and put it in drive and let it idle in drive with the parking brake on. Takes about 5 minutes and you can actually see the RPM's rising. Thanks for this video. I'm going to do this job shortly. I'm curious, you didn't put sealant on the head by the timing chain. I guess that's not necessary?!

For plugs

Just a home shop. South of Atlanta.

Ok thx for responding. I have an 02 Camry LE and my car is doing the exact same thing. I was hoping you were close so I could bring my car in, but unfortunately...no such luck. Being a woman I hate dealing with mechanics b/c its very difficult to find one that's honest. Thx. again!

I won't touch the newer Ford spark plugs. Learned my lesson years ago. The car is losing antifreeze externally at the back of the block. Likely the head gasket. I did the quick fix and added some sealer to the radiator...for now...

Can't say it smelled like rubber. Have you checked your belts?

Jo Daddy's Garage it’s for my bio professor’s car. She said she brought it to jiffy lube and they said it was a leaky valve, and I deduced it to a leaky gasket and found this video

@@Crustovavs OK. It's possible the smell of burning oil could smell like rubber.

I did a video on that. Ususally the threads strip out of the aluminum block.

The harbor freight nitrite gloves are great. They do not tear at all. It is amazing really.

Jesse, we have to cook.

No. Still good.

@@JoDaddysGarage mine is a 2001 and it's different gasket shape. it's more prone to leaks according to my ASE tech. even with a New one. he said. yours looks like a newer improved design with the plug gasket built in and looks easier to remove replace than mine. I just checked mine after one day run and shows no leaks since I beefed it up with proper silicone and cleaning all over again. happy motoring!😛

Felpros are solid, maybe better than stock rubber, but on the plugs definitely what Toyota says, none other.

Wow. You assume a lot. I guess he could have taken unpaid time off from his brand new job at an engineering firm, but he is paying off all his student loans himself, supporting himself and his new wife, and working full time. When he has the time to spare, he does his part. Have a good day.

Even they know it's a bad design....

There is a technique where people break them loose and pour some penetrating fluid around them and let them sit for a day so the penetrant soaks the threads. It's still a gamble though.
