    That oil gunk, what causes it? I replaced my pvc this summer but don't drive much and the last time I checked my oil I had that gunk so I wiped it out and replaced the oil.

    white/cream colored stuff? Condensation. Short trips are the culprit. Not a big deal.

    No teflon tape or sealant needed, Just tighten it snug. If you go too tight things may break / crack like the valve cover.

    I did mine a few months back . No sealant or Teflon tape Just thread it in and torqued it to 20 ft lb been fine since . After replacing mine at 57000 miles I did notice a big difference in the way the truck ran for the better. I went OEM.Will be changing mine every time I do plugs @30000 miles . :thumbsup:

    Just want to point out here, after having read through this thread --

    Lots of references to "20 ft lbs" for torque -- that is correct, for the 4.0L V6, 1GR-FE engine.

    But if you happen to have, say, a 4-cylinder 2TR-FE, the torque spec is just 44 IN-lbs (inch pounds) -- that's a mere 3.6 ft lbs.

    (See: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-torque-spec-guide.318116/ , where it is referred to in the tables & diagrms as "Ventilation valve subassembly X Cylinder head cover"...)

    Why exactly Toyota refers to the enginge valve cover as a "cylinder head cover" I don't know -- in fact there are parts diagrams that refer to the valve cover gasket as a "cylinder head gasket".. separate topic for some other time & place...

    People are saying to replace this every 30-50K but I don't see mention of it in the manual (or I can't read).

    Or is that just what people are doing cuz it's a cheap $5 part and quick 15 minute job?
