2007 Toyota Sequoia Tundra Valve Gasket Change

This video shows clips from me changing out my valve cover gaskets which were leaking after 17 years and 190,000 mile on my 2007 Toyota Sequoia. We got this SUV in 2010 with 33,000 miles on it so I'm pretty sure these were the original gaskets and seals.

Mechanics quoted me $350-$500 for this repair. I spent $24 on the gasket kit and $9 on a tube of gasket maker. There are more detailed YouTube videos on this subject but I needed to keep my iMovie skills fresh so I decided to film some of this repair.

Thanks for watching!!!
