Toyota V6 3.0 3VZ-E Valve Cover Gasket (Part 1 - Removal)

Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: https://bit.ly/3feE6tJ

In this 2 part video series, we are going to replace the valve cover gaskets on a 3.0 Liter 3VZ-E V6 Toyota engine. In this part 1, we show you how to remove all the components needed to expose your valve covers. Because we have the engine on the stand, we have a unique opportunity to show you angles of this job that otherwise wouldn't be possible with the engine inside the engine bay. This job was shown on an engine that lives inside a 1990 Toyota pickup truck but this engine also resides in 2nd gen 4runners and T100's so if you have those other platforms, this video will pertain to you.
