This is how I did the job....a short video...
Aside from getting a bit seasick in the beginning, I thought that was a pretty decent video. I would add that you may want to suggest torqueing the valve cover to 37 in-lbs first and then to 74 or whatever is required. I forgot.

haha....tanks! it was not easy to hold the camera with one had and do the job with the other hand. I could not find my head cam either....... I needed a dedicated camera person! :) Yes I did 2 stage torqueing but probably forgot to mention that in the video. Also after couple of days of driving it needed retorqueing due to the gasket settling in and flattening out and also the plastic cover releases some molding stress due to temperature cycling .

my fuel consumption has improved. Before PCV valve/valve cover replacement it was consuming 11 liters /100km and now 9 liters /100km ! about 20% reduction ! . Also I replaced the air filter.....well overdue ! :rolleyes:

Hey Asanga, this thread and your video has been a huge help. Just wanted to check in now a few months after you replaced it and ask how that eBay one is going? Would you say it’s worth it? I’ve also found one that claims to be genuine for $275 and another for just over $100 but comes with a three year warranty. Would you recommend those over the eBay one?

I paid $800 for the parts and $250 for Labour +GST to replace it, didn't see this foum before could have done it with $275. Hey Asanga Dealer didn't cover under warranty for you?
Expt did you go through it, did it work for you?
