Model: Toyota Camry Xv30 - Years 2002-2006
Part: Checks and maintenance

To replace the valve cover gasket on a Toyota Camry, open the hood to access the components in the engine bay. First, remove the plastic cover from the engine block, then unscrew the bolts securing the ignition coils. Next, pull out the coils along with the spark plugs by removing the bolts that hold the valve cover in place. Once the bolts are removed, lift the cover and detach the gasket underneath. Replace it with a new one and reassemble all the components you removed earlier.
