In this video we somewhat start a mini series within a series on fixing all the oil leaks that this car has starting with the valve cover gaskets.

First we talk about our first road trip we took in the car. Then we jump right into the valve cover gaskets where we find plenty of surprises. Some good and some not so good but overall the engine is looking better and better!

  • As a Lexus and Toyota owner this is one of the most informative and well produced car channels on all of YouTube. You truly deserve all of the success that comes to you. Thank you for all that you do for the community. I would be honored for you to work on my Lexus someday.
  • @deluxe1of1
    I’m a current technician for Toyota of orland park and I can say this channel has helped me learn a lot about Toyotas and Lexus vehicles. Appreciate your videos keep it up
  • “But, that’s OK.” 😂 The ocean of patience you have is impressive. Fantastic series. Thanks!
  • @augustojr6038
    He’s the best Toyota/ Lexus Mechanic in explaining whats going on . What a good spirit . I leave this channel on and watch some videos over and over . It relaxes me .
  • @volvo09
    It's amazing that some Rolls Royce owners don't even appreciate the car, they just treat it as a status symbol. What an experience! I love big comfy sedans.
  • ❤ This series. Bringing a beautiful car back to it's glory days.
  • @directrix101
    A good tool to use with damaged connectors is a dental pic, that’s a must have for us in the electronics repair business. You can reach all round behind broken plastic to help remove it.
  • The fact that there were a couple parts of that engine that were made up of a hodgepodge of parts, such as the coils, and the engine still lasted to 600,000 should be even more of a testament to Toyota’s quality.
  • @BksalV
    The Bob Ross Mechanic! Solid content! Very informative!
  • @jmaxim80
    I about shit my pants when I saw how nice the cross hatching still looked, I remember about a year ago, I took apart a Jeep Liberty motor with 160,000 miles, and the cross hatch was completely gone. That is impressive, toyota. I guess that's why it's the only vehicles I buy. Love your work, brother, by the way. You're a true professional in every sense of the word. Also, thank you for the great entertainment. I guarantee you will be at a million subscribers before you know it.

    I had a 2003 LS430. The display went blank, and all my service reminders vanished. After researching, I called the dealer. The control unit in the trunk would cost $2,000. This control unit was really a DVD player. After further research, I located a used one online for $125. Installed it myself, and it worked perfectly. It even came with updated DVDs with the new road maps.
  • The most I like in you is your patience while working, there are difficulties in fixing problems in this 600k Miles Lexus but you are doing it right and patiently 😊
  • @BA-gn3qb
    Can't believe you didn't trade the Lexus for the Rolls Royce - Straight Up. 😊 Love that RR doesn't glue a tablet to their dashboards.
  • @73caprice
    I’m addicted to watching everything this channel has. It is so interesting and informative and just so satisfying and fun to watch. I own a 2017 LS460 with only 24k so watching this LS going through this transformation is even more interesting to me.
  • @THEH2OMAN
    I absolutely love this series... it's shaping up to be one of the all time great video series on YouTube The jackhammer sequences are excellent.
  • @edutter9261
    The Half moon plugs are there to seal the outside of the head, because when the head is made the cam bearings are bored it also bores the outside of the casting, which means the half moon cut has to be sealed.
  • I am a Lexus RX owner, but normally wouldn't watch a rebuild video. However I'm enjoying yours based on your friendly style, and that your thought process is interesting. Short version: I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying your rebuild videos. Thanks, and all the best to your family.
  • @stevenz2109
    Love your work brother. I switched from having 2 v8 audis a couple years back to now owning a 2009 highlander with 2gr and a 100 series landcruiser with the 2uz. Best decision I ever made .
  • @Doc1310
    Thanks for showing us all the problems that happen to normal people like most of us. Very refreshing!
  • @davidf1712
    Dude, You make working on cars and diagnosing them look sooo easy and simple. I can learn so much just watching your podcasts.
