1NR-FE Valve Cover Gasket replacement

[sh0rtlife]

on the 1.5, looking at it from the front, only the BELT side stuff needs to come off, the battery side stuff can remain

i was in there a couple months back..and didnt touch anything on the starter side..also getting under the car is NOT a requirement, the only tricky bit is the crank pot plug and bolt which can be accessed with the car on the ground and the wheel turned

Short update. I don't think it would have been able just turning the wheel. I took the splash guard out and still it was a *real piece of work* to get the plastic pin out...

Here's a video update - https://youtu.be/uCt6MjUIQRo

I think now I have just enough clearance to get the cover out... only problem now is having a family, but I hope I can continue later today. I'd like to have this car running by Monday... let's see.
