    Pulled the passenger side valve cover tonight in my campaign of replacing the gaskets, half moons, grommets, spark plugs and wires, etc etc etc. attached is a pic of the inside of my valve cover. Whatcha think? 03 Taco. 151,000. As far as I can tell this is the first replacement

    Doesn't get much cleaner than that. Make sure you don't put those spark plug seals in the wrong way- it's easy to do.

    I was amazed when I pulled it off and looked. Previous owner must’ve maintained it religiously. To your note on the spark plug seals, I double checked more times than I care to admit. Lol
