    I'm about to do the whole valve cover thing (both sides leaking) on my 95 Tacoma SR5, it's at 330k yes 330k and runs great, was wondering what would be the best kit to go with, and sorry if some one has already recommend one. I've noticed my Tacoma can be picky about the kind of parts I use on her and thanks in advance

    Thanks for the write up! I'm about to do this for my truck as well

    Does anyone else have a line on OEM parts deals?
    I tried getting ahold of Gunny but it looks like he hasn't been on here since Feb

    :pccoffee:

    when do these 2 items start to weep?
    i have 50k miles on the other items replaced at 112k but these 2 were not done then, and i am surprised they have not started any noticeable weep yet as far as i can feel back behind there at current mileage
    5. Camshaft Plugs - Part #11188-62010 - 2 Total
    6. Halfmoon Plugs - Part #11183-62010 - 4 Total

    might they be good-2-go until the next time the VCG starts weeping on me
    or are they replaceable without disturbing the other stuffs

    @ramonortiz55 Thanks for the write-up! With it and @Timmah! video, this gal here is feeling confident to tackle this engine tune-up :fingerscrossed:. I have all next week off, so gonna start it Monday.

    Parts arrived today! And I even got my local dealer to price match Boch Toyota (MA), which had excellent online prices!

    Happy Friday everybody!:D
