    I have to do my valve cover gasket sometime this week and I was looking at these paired with an IMS. I’m at 150k miles with up to date maintenance. Is there such thing as “too high milage”
    I don’t want to put unneeded stress on other parts that may break.
    How much reliability am I compromising if I install these correctly?
    If none then why didn’t Toyota design their cam gears like this?

    I wouldn't think these would effect reliability one way or the other. It might increase longevity as the engine works slightly less hard.
    Toyota has to appease the epa. Reburning some of the exhaust gases so they are slightly cleaner is one technique to do that.
