    Vehicle:
    2006 4runner sport 4.7L V8 (white)
    used to have - 99 2.4L I4 5 lug & 04 prerunner v6
    I wasn't so sure myself but then I looked at the videos and man oh man are they two different designs between the v6 and v8.

    the v6 is easy peasy but the v8 is a nightmare, I think its because of the VVTI system.

    see the two videos below that show the differences

    this video shows just how overly complicated changing the cam seals really are on the 4.7L v8 engines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka2QxF0e7so

    now here is a video that shows how easy it is to replace the 3.4L v6 seals (skip to time stamp 3:00 to save time) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW-ferTEQ54
