Hello folks. I've got both an '05 and '07 TL with leaking valve covers that I plan on repairing soon. I'm wondering if there is anything else I should replace while I'm in there? e.g., when I replaced the valve cover on my '08 Sequoia, there were a couple of gaskets (cylinder head gaskets #3 and #4)) and oil control valve filters that were either a) non-reusable and not included in the FelPro valve cover gasket kit, or b) readily accessible and if needed replacement or cleaning in the future would require much of the same work to be done again. Like replacing the water pump when you do the timing belt, etc.

Basically, I'm looking for advice on what I can replace while I'm in there.

Thanks!

 

Tube seals and bolt grommets. Use OEM.

Part #1 is a kit for one bank.

 

Thanks, and for the link as well. I guess I should have listed what I already had in mind; I consider plug seals and valve cover gaskets as integral with the new-fangled plugs-through-the-valve-cover design. First time I replaced plugs in a plugs-through car I freaked out at the oil on the plugs not immediately realizing it wasn't a big deal, just leaky tube seals.
