    Well it took 20 years to do that. Pretty solid I’d say.

    I'd replace all the rubber parts while you have the cover off. That's what I did on my 2000.

    Did you buy the seals separately from the vavle cover gasket?Is there a difference on buying them together and Quality?

    Not sure what motor you have, if it's a 3RZ this video: watch shows replacement of the parts, and it also shows the part numbers. I stopped the video, wrote down the part numbers, and then purchased them through Toyota parts, after I verified they were the correct parts for my truck. Best of luck, and welcome to Tacoma World!

    I would definitely replace all of the gaskets on the valve cover, while you are in there. Use OEM parts so you can go another 20 years. They are more expensive and IMO they are worth it.
