I little off topic here, I know I cannot reuse the intake plenum gasket and TB gasket. But since I have new valve cover gaskets, spark plug seals and camshaft seals installed already, should I buy another NEW set to install or I can just reuse the new ones that I just installed? Basically they have zero miles on them. I think I can reuse them, but of course i have to clean them up first prior to reinstallation. And in addition, they should not be damaged upon removal so I can reuse.
Any comments, suggestions?

[quote=”kkozlowski” post=66588]Hey mate,
It appears the pre 08 98 1MZ came without an EGR. I pulled up the toyota part reference catalog and found a difference in the manifold parts starting August 1998.

So I am good?
So before I took off the plenum and VC, I started the car once again and used a screwdriver as a stethoscope to hear that noise. I am really assuming that it is somewhere on that head area. I hope it is not on the block or else I’ll burn this Toyota! j/k

I took off the plenum and rear valve cover in less than an hour:

A little tired and getting ready for work, will use feeler gauge to check clearances tomorrow.

My 98 Sienna does not have EGR and no EGR VSV unlike this guy:
Pic below show my engine without EGR and VSV:

You mentioned the EGR is on the right of the plenum, well I couldn’t find it. I don’t think it has one. I was looking for that when I was taking off the plenum, also TSRM says that too. Weird.

I checked the exhaust near the firewall, seems like the bolts are all tight in its places.
I don’t really know exactly what to look for in that area.

No shavings as far as I know.. when I took both valve covers off, the head is super clean. No sludge, literally the color is gold
