Fixing a slow oil leak on the LS 460 with new valve cover gaskets and fuel pump gaskets. 𝗙𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗢𝗪: 👉 Instagram: / martymotoring 👉 TikTok: / martymotoring
Awesome video here Marty, nothing wrong with learning as you go! One thing I decided to do, at least on my own cars (I used to work for a fleet) was every time I had a major repair I would do two things, clean the engine with the canned degreaser/hose or "soft water rinse " . Plus treat all the fasteners with penetrant oil. When I set aside some time to do a little prep work first, like buying a box of zip lock bags, some blank paper, and a felt pen for labels and to put the small parts in, everything goes much more smoothly. Because the tendency is to think in the moment: No way I'll forget what this part goes to! 3 days later... Doing all this prep-work helped me enormously to do the job and the re-assembly, and made it a lot more pleasant.
Looking forward to the startup! Other than the injectors and plastic being so brittle, it looks like fixing the original problem excluding the overhaul you're in the middle of could be a pretty simple job. This series is extremely valuable to owners of 460s and 600hs.
Yes, I could have just left the gaskets/leaks as they were and just fixed the injectors which wasn’t the most difficult job but also not fun 😅 There’s just a lot in a small area, and with most of it being plastic it gets so brittle. The injectors are $400 new each which is why I’m going the used route 😅 Doing it myself and taking my time has save a lot of money. I hope it can help others.
Hey I have a question that I know its not related to what your doing here , i been trying to check online and cant find it anywhere, do you know if the grill and wheels you have can fit a base 460? Cuz i know thats the f sport edition , i have a 2015 Ls460 and love the look you have on yours . I wanted to know if I can change my wheels and grill to match yours .. thanks
There really is no such thing as a garbage Lexus but there will always be a model that is the least reliable for each brand. The car itself is amazing to drive and a fantastic place to be inside of.
Marty same as you, Im no mechanics and that's why we are better then them. 99 percent of mechanics are careless we are doing it with love and passion.

FYI, Dawn Power Wash destroys that grime!! Used it on my sister's valve cover when I changed her gasket!!
Great idea! Always use it for dishes, never thought about cars haha
Fantastic job, wow

Do you happen to have a list of all the music you used in this video?
Does Lexus require RTV seal on V8 valve cover gasket?
Yes, only a small amount between the heads and the timing cover. It’s a very small amount.
If nothing else, you grow a nice, full head of hair......
It’s the LS460 is an absolute garbage from Lexus.
I'd have to agree. Having worked on lexus products for 25 years these cars are expensive to repair and break far more often than anything in the past.
