How much torque does a Toyota valve cover need?

How much torque does a Toyota valve cover need?

Yes, 33 lb/ft was the original spec. I believe Toyota revised the plug tube seals because they had problems with them loosening up and the cover gasket leaking. The newer material supposedly needs only 17 lb/ft. After letting it sit 30 minutes to 1 hour, retorque again.

How much torque does a 1MZ valve cover have?

Nope. The 1MZ valve cover bolt torque is much less, 69 inch /lbs or about 6-7 ft/lb IRRC. Chances are if you attempt to tighten down the stock bolts one or more of them will snap, and depending which one breaks will determine the degree of PITA it is.

Where are the valve cover gaskets located on a Toyota?

I bought the parts from Toyota and the spark plug tube seals (11193-15010) were separate, as were the little circular gaskets under the valve cover bolts (90210-06010). Mine came off easy with no prying. Don’t pry at the mating surface. Clean the mating surface with acetone and put sealant on the mating surface portions directed by Haynes.

How to tighten valve cover gasket torque settings?

52 inch-lbs, thats straight from the chiltons manual and as stated above tighten them down diagonally. i used black magic engine shine to degrease my cover, it works great EDIT: While I’m thinking about it, these things don’t get stuck do they?

Are there any specs for the valve cover?

Not sure if there are any specs for the valve cover. I always tightened the valve cover by feel. In equal steps, diagonally opposite nuts. At some point it gets a bit more difficult to tighten each nut, which is where I leave them be. The most important part is to have clean mating surfaces.
