Replacing Timing Chain

Thanks,
Jeff Lange

When McGeorge sent an email response to my question, they gave me the part number you stated. When I searched their website, I got
Gasket Oil Hole Cov - Toyota (11496-75011)

 

When I get to what point should I start a new thread?

Which threads do you see guys reheading their engines?

All orders have now been placed (RockAuto, McGeorge Toyota, ICEngineering). That last place is where I bought replacement allen-head fasteners for the oil pump that normally has Phillips head bolts bolting the oil pump to the timing cover (crazy Toyota would have done that). The Toyota replacement oil pump doesn't come with fasteners. Paid way too much for the allen-head fasteners. I could have done much better if I had spent the time searching, but just needed to get all of my orders out.

The hard to find last piece was called "Flywheel Housing Undercover Dust Seal" in the FSM. McGeorge told me 11354-75010 is the flywheel housing dust seal in an email. Using that number to look the part up in their catalog, I got
Seal Flywheel Housi - Toyota (11354-75010)
Whatever it actually is, all I know is from taking the flywheel cover off and then removing something ugly dirty that fell apart in my hand, and I only knew it as "Flywheel Housing Undercover Dust Seal."

Now I can turn my attention to cleaning parts and everything around the engine in the truck. Cleaning sludge from inside the engine has been unpleasant. Cleaning the caked on oil and dirt on the outside of the engine is equally unpleasant. I'm well along in that process, so things are looking better every day. I promise to go back and post AFTER photos once I have things clean enough (to my satisfaction).
