Valve Cover Replacement 99-03 Toyota/Lexus V6

Easy to follow. Straight to the point.
How to replace both front and rear valve cover gaskets and spark plugs on a Toyota/Lexus 3.0 V6 (1MZ-FE engine). The gasket fit will also apply to 3.3 V6 (3MZ-FE) as well, although the intake manifold/throttle body may differ some.
Most oil leaks and oil-burning smells are due to these gaskets degrading over time.
