Cam seals 1uz

One of staff members removes altezza VVti units which are similar to the 1uz ones without removing the valve covers so I will have to ask him. He might just hit them with the rattle gun. I have only seen him have trouble with one which already had the head of the bolt rounded off. Cams where being thrown away anyway so it didnt matter too much.
I did understand that you where refering to cam covers and valve covers as the same part. We can call them tappet covers and rocker covers too just to add other names to the mix. Again not hard to remove them no matter what they are called. Cheers

Thanks for the reply Glove, ok valve covers it is, I have no problem removing them, I just thought I could save some time if the job could be done without removing them. As I thought about it, I will remove them anyway and replace the "rockers" cover gaskets also. I don't see any shortcuts, it's best to do it right, I certainly don't want to screw anything up. Thanks again for your reply.

Cheers!

We have already had quite a few 20 series VVti motors with leaking Rocker cover gaskets so I think its worth doing them at the same time. Cheers
