Replace 1GR-FE valve stem seals

[Byways]

Have you done it? Wisdom and tips to share?

I can't find much at all online for this engine. Just looking for how-to insights, not diagnoses.

A thousand thanks!

I have done them but only with the heads off of the car. They are easy once you have the valves removed.

Not sure how to do them with the heads still in place. Maybe others can chime in.

Did you find the wisdom needed for this, as I'm looking at the same repair and looking for tips as well?

See if Tim did a video on this topic. It should be similar to any other V 6 or 8 engine Timmy The Toolman - YouTube

No matter what engine you have, you'll need to remove the valve covers, cam shafts, then use a special tool with an air compressor to pressurize the cylinder. It sounds complicated but once you see a video of this process, it'll make sense.

It doesn't even matter which make/model engine you have, as long as you're looking at an overhead camshaft engine video, the process is quite similar.

Thank you. I’ll check out Tim or look for other overhead cam videos to see what I can learn.
