we have a fuel gasket recall? ELF ? Fuel pressure sensor? Anyone knows if this is the same as fuel pump gaskets?

so they are telling me it is going to take one week. For all 3 recalls to be done.

so access is through the bottom not the top of the engine bay?

Nope not the same. But i would guess they are messed with too. I think there is a long you tube video showing the ELF process. Made by a Lexus dealer.

have ever replaced the drivers side valve cover seal? I did the passangers side this last weekend and it was a pain to reposition it because of the angle it slides in and sits. I didn’t want to risk going through the same on the drivers side.
I also replaced both fuel injector seals that were leaking. Those were easy.

I did the driver side with a freind . The problem is that you have to remove the high pressure fuel line in order to remove the valve cover.

So I don't have to remove the fuel injectors? That's good, I guess I can give it a try. I'll order a intake seal while at it.
thanks!
