I wouldn't have attempted that gasket before watching your vid, I figure if you can do 95% of it with one hand me and my 6 mates should manage it. Great stuff. Cheers.

Bien hecho otra vez !! Did the valve cover gasket on my SLK a few months ago before i sold it. When i removed the cover there was a few pockets of oily crud near the cams and oil tubes so cleaned it up a bit. Did an oil change at same time !! So thanx for entertainment !!
I saw on your valve cover that your engine model is the 1KR-B52, which is quite interesting, as I always thought it was the 1KR-FE. According to Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_KR_engine#1KR-B52), this is actually a modified version of the 1KR, which reduces emissions and boosts performance. Not sure how true it is, but based on the way your car performs, I'd say it is 💯. Truly is a 3-cylinder race car you've got there mate 😎 Curious to see if my C1 is the same model. Will check when I get the chance.
Sounds about right for the m6 bolts. Tbh as long as they’re tight enough not to come loose, and not tight enough to break anything then they’ll be fine. You get a feel for this sort of thing if you do it enough, but it’s not a critical torque setting as like a head gasket where you’re crushing the gasket a set amount and stretching the bolts etc.
Just out of curiosity, i removed the letters citroen c1 from the rear window, and you'll be surprised how many skanky words you can make of it. Consider Gluing the best one back on .
Today, I redlined my car at 6500 RPM in neutral just for the fun of it. White smoke was coming out of the exhaust. Is this normal? Does yours also do this?
Yes. It’s most likely just steam from the exhaust. When the fuel is burned, water is actually produced. When the exhaust is cold and on cold days it shows up even more.
If you pause the video at 9:08, Is that 90 degree bend next to your finger what takes the coolant into the heater matrix replaceable? I thought the rubber pipe was leaking but that metal bend is corroded in the middle and pissing coolant everywhere.
I see the pipe you mean. I’m sure it will be replaceable somehow, but I’m not sure how it’s held in or if it’s part of another bit. I’ll try to remember to have a proper look next time I lift the bonnet on the shitter
140k. Oil usage about normal for one of these, they usually a bit. It’s actually in decent condition. Cam lobes and timing chain all decent etc. It’s just a bit of varnish but nothing out the ordinary.
To do the valve seals, you usually have to remove the head. Sometimes they can be done with the head on by using compressed air to hold valves closed with piston at tdc but at minimum, the cams would need to come out on this engine. It’s not a small job.
As someone who knows nothing about cars I find these videos strangely addictive and I do love watching them 😂
YES! There’s plenty more on the channel to watch too haha
Same here lol! 😂💯

Another brilliant informative video Tim! Hilarious commentary. Keep them coming!
Thanks mate 😀
This is precisely the video I need for my own car. Thanks 👍
Hope it helps!

Mines just the 1KRFE with a few sic tuning mods to make it fast as fuck... The valve cover might be interchangeable though.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos True that
Thank you for this video. Came in handy today. Easy job but easier when you have a video like this.
Yea not a bad job, and thanks for watching
So funny but so informative ...top top videos !
That’s good to hear, thanks for watching mate
RIP turbo, you may have died young but you'll always be remembered
Forever in our hearts. I’ll bury it, and take a picture of the grave to have it as my Facebook cover photo.
Live, Laugh,.. Love.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Live, laugh... Love?
Thought you are more... Live, thrash, die! 😂
Haynes manual has the torque @ 9Nm for the bolts, and thanks for the video. Will be interested if it stops your leak.

Always in our thoughts turbo ❤
Forever amen.
Nice job mate, useful video
Cheers mate. Makes a change doesn’t it haha
Sorry for your loss.
RIP choocher
Your condolences are appreciated 😔
Crackin Tim, I have double shitters here as twin daughters have one each, they prefer the nail varnish though ha ha
Cheers mate. That reminds me, I need to redo my nail varnish!
Did replacing the gasket make the shitter use less oil, or no difference?
It’s stopped it throwing it all over the engine bay, but it still uses a bit. I reckon it probably halved it 🤔
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Halved it, you reckon? Wow, it made a huge difference then 💯
Should have cleaned the rocker cover......and maybe the rest of the car?
Cleanliness is surplus to requirements on this shitter.

DO IT
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos send you picture on insta PM
Any idea where I can get some airbox clips? Bought one recently and replaced the air filter but didn't have any clips on the air box.
I’d probably try a scrap yard first or someone breaking one on eBay maybe 🤔

I stuck it out . Subscribed. You are welcome xx
Thank you! Feel free to check out my other videos, they’re pretty much all about the same level of shitness as this one 🤣
Go for it ... No turbo ,,, no Problem
Im thinking Nitros
It’s not been ruled out 🤷♀️

The cylinder head needs to be replaced to change that 90 degree bend, Ended up using JB Weld high heat putty to seal the holes, So far it’s held up.
@@PieeaterComeonengland ahhh. Let me know how it lasts!
Did you have to drain the oil before doing this?
@@kevstamc3676 no mate. Just did what you see in the video.
engine looks tired. What is millage ? Any oil consumption ?
140k. Oil usage about normal for one of these, they usually a bit. It’s actually in decent condition. Cam lobes and timing chain all decent etc. It’s just a bit of varnish but nothing out the ordinary.
To much oil in air filter Box.
Does your engine have a lot of oil fumes?
Is the PCV valve working properly?
It’s oil that’s drained from the K&N when I over oiled the shitter.
Would opening the valve cover be the easiest way to check chain tension?
Yea I’d say so, it’s easy to take off.
Are you going to paint the rocker cover/ other under the bonnet components 1 day?
Possibly, see if the car survives long enough for me to get onto it lol
Do yku have ti remoithe rockers to do the valve seals
To do the valve seals, you usually have to remove the head. Sometimes they can be done with the head on by using compressed air to hold valves closed with piston at tdc but at minimum, the cams would need to come out on this engine. It’s not a small job.
Hmmm.... Would be a good time to paint the Rocker/cam cover too...
Yea would need taking off to do a decent job of painting it tbh
I'm disappointed you didn't use "super aggressive brake cleaner" wire wool can be good for removing the harder bits
Wire wool is great but falls to bits and lands in the engine. Haha
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos all depends how careful you are 😁
@@joebloggs3629 there is that lol
Sad that HKS sent you that turbo rip-off. I remember that they promised a full turbo kit or something?
Something like that, the guy at HKS who sent it me was a legend.
Out of interest, do the coil packs need to go back in their original holes?
Nah mate, just stick it in whatever hole it fits…
