This video covers the recent repair I did on our 2007 V6 4Runner. The valve cover gaskets were leaking pretty badly, and I could tell why when I went in to replace them. All the gaskets were brittle. I wasn't too concerned about a bit of oil seepage on the engine block but when it got to the point we could smell burnt oil coming off the engine from the leaking gaskets that's when I decided to get this done. Even then I bought these and had them sitting around in the hall for a month before finally getting the job done.
It took about 4 hours to get everything completed with half that time just getting the air intake plenum and hoses etc off the top of the engine and out of the way. You will likely be able to do it a fair bit quicker as I wasn't really following any video or manual, just figuring things out as I went along. It sure made me doing the same job on our 03 Tundra seem simple by comparison.
The tools I used for the repair were....
10 and 12mm sockets
Impact drill
8mm hex bolt driver
shop rags and q tips
razor
Parts Cleaner
gasket and grommet set
Toyota 103 FIPG sealant

This is totally a project you can take on if you like to work on your truck, have some patience and a bit of time.
