Scotty Kilmer i changed the egr valve on my ‘98 camry and it also said the purge flow sensor was out and after that it said it went back to code p0401 wich its asking the egr valve again even though that i bought it and replaced it twice already? Is this common for ‘98 camry’s?

Much respect is due to the American Legend, the Everyman Mechanic, and the Hero of the Shadetrees- Scotty Kilmer!

Scotty the man, saving people from financial ruin.

Almost a pleasure to hear Scotty w/ his "stupid this" and "crappy that". My old man was a mechanic and the things that came out of him were terrifying and at times quite creative- he sort of had a talent for combining obscenities. Especially after a few beers. Venting frustrations by cursing is crucial to the mental health of the mechanic IMHO. Just keep grandma's ears covered.

Scotty diagnoses and fixes something in about one hour which would take me all day probably.

Haha perfect timing Scotty! My 2003 Camry was leaking oil around the valve cover and I was freaking out. I looked up your videos but you had none on the valve cover gasket, just one about the valve cover gasket leak stopper. But look at that you posted a video on just what I needed.

change oil on time and gaskets will last longer. maybe the PCV wont get stuck open either with clean oil. oil gets inside of it too.

Scotty I can’t emphasize enough how much I like videos like these where you go through a diagnosis. Do more videos like these please! Thanks for all you do

I like that Scotty gets to the point in his videos! Numerous others talk about this and that and 19 minutes later they are just getting to taking the stupid crap apart....... You're awesome Scotty!

Scotty make a series of customers Bringing in their cars and fix them.. we want to see your reaction when you see the car and the steps you think of to fix it and actually doing it !!! This will help all of us out to think like you do!!

Another reason we love Scotty! Thank you for your hard work and dedication, Sir!

Awesome! Love when Scotty makes videos of fixing the customers cars real time! GREAT JOB SCOTTY! How about a 1 hour show a month working on a customers car!?

Maybe should have shown that no code and engine light went away too? This repair looked scary for a newbie like myself😃

". . . Nice and tight." Made me laugh remembering my early days learning about stripped holes, snapped bolts and crushed or cracked valve covers. Live and learn! Even valve covers have torque specs! Us old timers have them built into our hands. 😎

Be careful with the sealer on that rubber gasket. If too much is applied, it will ooze into the engine compartment and end up working its way through your engine. Not a good thing.

That is why you use anaerobic sealant that wont harden without absolute oxygen deprivation. It'll just dissolve in the oil otherwise from getting mixed around so much.

RTV on a flexible “rubber” gasket? That’s shade tree, and invites trouble down the road.

What would be the proper way to do it?

@CrazyPetez

4 жыл бұрын

Alvin Hah Whatever the factory service manual says. Usually adding RTV to a gasket like that is NOT recommended. The stuff can get loose inside the engine, and clog oil passages for one thing. One use for RTV might be to put a very thin bead in the gasket groove in the cam cover, so the gasket stays with the cover. The operative word is THIN.

RTV...which stands for Room Temperature Vulcanizing...is a product used to fill voids in any composite to metal gasket surface. Rubber gaskets must "walk" in their designated area of sealing because of expansion and contraction. Using RTV is a typical shadetree mistake. I agree 100%.

That was fun to watch Scotty. Loved Your narration 😂🤣

I had to take the intake manifold completely off the car just to get to the valve covers. I also had to move the stupid wiring harness out of the way. But, I took my precious time doing it and labeled everything as I removed them - bolts and all. I followed the service manual and torqued everything in order, according to manufacture's specs. I was able to successfully get the job done! Soooo, if I can do it, then so can you! :) And, just so you know, I'm a very feminine woman. :)

Hey Scotty I love to see you working on these cars it tickles me and then being courteous me to go do the same I'm glad you did that because my PCV valve have not has not been changed on my 2000 Silverado and I noticed a lot of oil around that kind of so I will change that PCV valve thank you I don't forget to ring that Bell l I love it😎😎😎😝😝😎

As always, great vids Scotty -- short and sweet.

Hey Scotty, I appreciate you posting links for the tools you use. However I could not find a link for the rusty crows foot you used on the PCV valve. Sure would like to have one of those.

None... intake manifold gasket suckin air,Scotty.. Never even checked that......why ?

Thanks for posting video bro. I needed to do a gasket job on my 2004 Corolla and you just gave me a preview : )

Years of experience and natural God given ability and smarts make Scotty one heck of a mechanic! Wish you were closer to us my friend. :)

The engine covers can prevent dirt from accumulating in the spark plug wells. On the other hand, you cannot easily inspect for gasket leaks. When you remove the valve cover, keep the work area very clean and observe the torque specs when you retighten the bolts to prevent future leaks. I believe there is a recommended tightening sequence as well.
