There's a left and a right? I thought it was just one whole gasket! And as long as it's not a blown head gasket I'm not going to worry that much ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Edit: Nvm one for intake and one for exhaust! I haven't really looked at it closely on the right side but the left side I see oil leaking.

If it's a blown cylinder head gasket, that is a huge job!
We are talking apples and oranges. Valve cover gaskets would take about 3 hours labor to change out. Head gaskets would be about 13 hours to change.

I valve cover is annoying enough, a head gasket would be a headache especially with the motor in the car. I hate how the sc3 has the intake manifold and throttle body sitting right on top of the valve covers. Makes just changing out the spark plugs a pita. One of the good reasons i have a gte.

Took her up to 100mph yesterday. I gotta say the old 2JZ with the 5 speed really pulls on the highway, and I'm amazed at how composed this car is at that type of speed, its just like you're driving 60mph. I need to go out of town a bit to really let her rip and report back.

You are talking about valve cover gasket right?

Got my bottom rears on. It's so tedious. Top not done for comparison.
