Step by step procedure on replacing the front and rear valve cover gaskets in a Toyota Camry with the 1MZ-FE 3.0L V6 engine.

Procedure is the same for V6 Toyota Camry, Avalon, Solara, Sienna, Highlander, Lexus RX300 and ES300.

Also covered in this video: Spark plug wire and ignition coil replacement, PCV valve and grommet replacement, throttle body cleaning and gasket replacement, EGR replacement, intake plenum removal, spark plug tube seal replacement, air filter replacement, coolant system drain.

The intake plenum must be removed to access the rear valve cover.
Good idea to replace spark plugs, spark plug wires, PCV valve and grommet and EGR/ Throttle body / Intake plenum gasket while your at it.

The job isn't difficult, but its time consuming. Only basic hand-held tools are needed.

Tips:
Use a torque wrench to tighten valve cover bolts.
Use washers to build up the height of crushed washers.
Use Permatex RTV on all sharp or uneven surfaces on the valve cover.
Refill cooling system with Toyota Long Life coolant and mix 50/50 ratio.
Clean the idle air control valve (IACV), throttle body, intake plenum and EGR before re-assembling.
Have a friend hold up the rear wiring harness when removing or installing the rear valve cover or tie it to the wipers.
Label all electrical and vacuum connections.
Freeze spark plug tube seals and use a heat gun to warm the valve cover before pressing the seal in.
