    I have the notorious valve cover leak on my 98 tacoma 3.4l. I did some reading and think i have everything i need,but would like to make sure i don't leave anything out.

    You need the valve covers gaskets and 6 spark plug grommets that go in the valve cover. Can't remember what they are called

    I'm glad you mentioned that. I removed them to order from ebay,but its no cheaper than adding it to this order. The camshaft plugs come in a pair.

    I also bought a new throttle body gasket because i took it off an cleaned it. Also why don't you order everything from Toyota of dallas. I have heard of a few problems from non oem gaskets. Also get some of the Toyota type rtv to put on the front cam plugs
