I use PURPLE cleaner full strength in a pan to remove all that varnish. let it soak for a few minutes and then agitate it with a parts brush to leave it clean! I also use a small dab of dielectric grease with reconnecting the spark plug wires and electrical leads to the coils. Change the spark plugs (iridium) at 100,000 miles as suggested by Denso/NGK.
Thanks buddy! This is on my to do list for my GX470. Any concerns about the brake cleaner destroying the hoses and electrical wiring?
Do you happen to know the function of the hose you removed at 2:05
thank you for the video helped alot
My 2007 Tundra with 2UZ-FE shows 7 ft lbs for the bolts in the manual. Why does everyone keep saying 53 in lbs which would come to about 4.5 ft lbs? Oh, I see, this is a 2005? help me understand.
Thanks for the vid. I just finished the job from watching this. My 03 V8 4runner is slightly different from the engine you worked on. The driver's side is pretty much the same but the passengers side has less room too work on. You definitely have to remove the air box and also unbolt the transmission fluid dipstick tube from the oil dipstick tube in order to access the cover bottom bolts. Actually it was more challenging than the driver's side IMO.
How long I've to wait to tight up after putting sealer
Thanks for this video I just finished mine. I noticed @ 20:28 you had the spark plugs gasket backward. Have you checked I see if oils leaking In the spark plug hole.
