Detailed Description

Apex AVC861S is an engine valve cover gasket set for vehicles in the Toyota and Scion platform family, including the Toyota Camry, Corolla, Matrix, RAV4, Highlander, Solara, Scion tC, Scion xB, Pontiac Vibe, and Lexus HS250h. This gasket set is used to renew the seal at the valve cover and support proper engine sealing on the listed applications. The part number AVC861S is useful when matching the correct sealing component for service work on these engines.

What It Helps Fix

• Oil seepage around the valve cover perimeter
• Visible engine oil residue near the cylinder head
• Burning oil odor from leaks onto hot engine surfaces
• Loss of sealing at the valve cover after gasket wear
• Maintenance needs during top-end engine service

Installation Notes

Verify engine application by year, make, and model before installation. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the valve cover and mating surfaces for damage or warpage before fitting the new gasket. For the 2010-2012 Lexus HS250h application, note the listing with intake manifold gasket. Confirm all related seals and surfaces are ready before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Apex identifies this part as AVC861S for application matching and service reference. This part cross-references with Fel-Pro (e.g., VS 50504 R, VS 50504 T) for the same application.
