Lexis61509

Hello all, just bought my 1st Lexus and having issues. I searched the topic to find out this is a very common issue with these cars. I have a 93 ES300 5 spd with the 3vz - fe motor. There is a lot of oil coming out of what looks like the rear valve cover gasket. My question is what else is recommended to change while im in there, spark plugs, wires, or go all the way and do the head gasket as well. I did see that some people suggested using fel pro and ansley something. any input would be greatly appreciated. car has 180 on the clock.
Thanks,
Austin

my valve covers are leaking as well, im slowly collecting all the parts for a complete timing change and water pump while im in there. i will change the spark plugs and wires too, just changed the cap and rotor last oil change. i dont plan on doin the head gaskets but will wait and see some more recommendations. 229k miles btw

If there's no sign of a blown head gasket don't worry about the HG for now.Focus on Valve gaskets, spark plug wires timing belt etc. and put up a pic of that 5spd beauty
