Default Changed Valve Cover Gasket Today (at Toyata Dealer).

Friends,

Just FYI, I reported some oil leakage from the valve cover a while ago and have both front and rear valve cover gaskets changed toady at Toyota dealer, total cost (part and labor) was $689. Good thing is they put the new plugs without labor charge. All seems fine now.

Good idea, getting the plugs done at the same time. That alone saved you a fortune! Sounds like a good deal.

Thanks all you guys here. I actually got the idea 'change the plug at the same time' from RX99, otherwise wouldnt know.

That's cheating doing the plugs at the same time.
