Default Valve cover gasket sealant
Hello all. Where does this car require valve cover sealant. Some cars need it in the four corners. I am finishing this up tomorrow.

Where was the sealant applied when you removed the valve cover gaskets? I'm not aware this vehicle requires sealant. Might want to check out the tutorial on lexls site... I know it's on an LS400, but may give you some insights.

No Sealant. It's a rubber gasket.
