whats the parts number for the gasket kit?
Good stuff bro.got a 06 GS300 leaking pretty bad..idk if i wanna even bother with it..i hate working on cars lol..big headache
i got the manifold off and inside the plenum holes i see little plates. on the plates there is what looks like slug or carbon build up on them. should i clean them off?
Do you recommend using a gasket sealer?
Is the valve cover made from aluminum?
My cylinder 6 started misfiring ( same engine) and pulled the plug out and it was covered with oil. Is the spark plug tube seal leaking??
Thank you so, so much – I've been thinking about taking the covers off to tighten the bolts on the cam gears, since it started rattling a week ago and I read that the bolts may come loose and cause oil to leak back into the engine and not stay inside them 🙂 .
Whats the torque specs for the valve cover bolts?
Hi I have a Lexus GS300 2006, it was previously my mom’s and for a year it was dead in our garage. I was given it with a problem. It’s been a year and half no mechanic I go to knows how to fix it. When I drive the car and I am waiting at a red light I’ll begin to feel a jump and every time I feel the jump my rpm’s are dropping from 700 to below 500 and it feels like the car wants to turn off and if I don’t hold my foot on the brake and the gas to keep the rpm’s at 1,000 the car’s rpm will go to 0 and the battery light comes. But I know it’s not my battery because I just got a new battery put in. I stopped driving my car for two days and when I go to drive it again it won’t start up so I got a jump and when it turned on my engine started smoking so I turned it off. Recently before the car died I went to work and I had my car resting under a parking garage for a few hours and when I drive my car back home at night my car was letting out white smoke and I have no idea why because all my fluids were good. Do you have any idea of what it could be?
Do you think one could do this in 1 day? Wake up early in the morning grind it out.
I will need to do this soon on my 2006 IS350 2GR-FSE, I subed.
Thanks bro for sharing that.
Hello Dear, do you know where is camshaft position sensor for Lexus gs 350 2008 located ?
Hi, Thanks for the vblog. To replace the valve gasket ,it's a must using RTV silicon gasket maker together with the oem valve gasket?
Is this an IS250?
Very Helpful, pain in the ass for sure with the wiring harness in the way. Thanks for posting, should save about 600$ per gasket at the dealer
