So as you all know, and can smell the oil that leaks onto the manifold? Well, i finally got fed up with it and replaced them tonight.

Replaced both valve covers gaskets
Replaced upper plenum intake gasket
New OEM Denso 2 sprong spark plugs
Oil change
Drained trans pan

all done at 220,025 miles.

Next on my list to do....

Replace rack
Replace axel and cv boots
Motor mounts (how many are there?)

Great job!

The rack will be a harder job.

The engine has three mounts, top, front and back. Have someone rev the engine while you watch for excess movement. The engine should remain pretty still.

For info on doing these jobs check past TN posts on the appropriate year Camry. The Camry with V6 option is almost the same car. Same chassis, trans, engine.
