3VZ-E Valve Cover Gasket - Lower Mainland Help?

Hey Guys,
I noticed a ton of people on here are from the United States of America, but i was wondering, does anyone in the lower mainland know how to do the valve cover gaskets on the 3VZ-E engine?

I am willing to provide the gaskets, the truck, and the beer if someone is interested in providing a helping hand in the process.

Also, i think my power steering pump is going. Its really whiney, and tight in the middle. Once the wheel is past half way either direction it gets a lot easier to turn. Any idea's?

Thanks for looking!

Hey, Just so you're ready.

To get to the drivers side valve cover gasket, you have to remove the upper intake manifold.

So go ahead and get a TB gasket, upper intake gasket and a new PCV valve and grommet. And get yourself a tube of black RTV.

The bolts holding the valve cover on need to be torqued to like 5ft-lbs

I don't think so. Maybe 4x4wire.com

A toyota factory manual has fantastic pictures and guides to do this.

google toyota 1993 FSM
