I have a 90 4Runner with 3.0 V6 that has a valve cover leaking. How big a
job is it to get valve cover off.

Don't have a manual for it, but just looking at it looks like a pretty big
job.Any ideas what kind of time I am looking at?

Drivers side is a breeze, but the passenger side is a bit more work. You
need to remove the intake plenum. Don't use any RTV when you replace the
cover gaskets. Just us some bearing grease in the channel, also lightly rub
some new motor oil on the gasket, like you would on a new oil filter.

About an hour on the Drivers side and two on the passenger side.

While you have the passenger side valve cover off, it's a good
opportunity to replace the PCV grommet.

My first 4Runner - Hey Everyone, I've driven nothing but Toyotas for the last 25 years and finally decided to trade in the old corolla, which had 200K miles on it. I decided to splurge and picked up a mint 2001 sr5 4Runner, gas prices be damned (I get 24 - 26 mpg..

88 4Runner not getting gas. - I have an 88 4runner with a V-6 5-speed. It has been sitting for about 6 months since I started it last. Yeah, the gas is turning bad. In times past after it had been setting, it would start on 4 or 5 cylinders and after a few seconds would start..

4Runner 4x4 Light - The 4x4 light on my dash doesn't turn on when I engage the 4x4. Truck is a 96 with manual transmission. 4x4 seems to work which makes me think it's just the light on the dash...or am I wrong here?

94 4Runner Gas Mileage - I Bought a 94 4Runner V6 SR5 W/automatic Transmission, and the thing is a gas hog. Surprised me. I expected maybe at worst, 18 MPG highway. It does have oversized mid tires on it. Seems to run good. Any ideas out there on improving the mileage? or does...
