    Default 1uz cam cover spark plug seals.Genuine only???Please no!!

    so i just got some seals from the local toyota and it cost $140 big ones.I smashed the old ones out to get my covers powdercoated and not really thinking,they were stuffed pretty much anyway.Is there any aftermarket or even seals from another toyota that may be cheaper??

    Seals for a 2uz are almost 1/4 of the price.

    Veales dont list either.

    I got genuine ones for $41 each... ring around a few dealers, I've found that their prices vary heaps between places!

    But yeah, like Cruz said eBay America would be your next best bet...

    I've never bothered replacing them.
    But do they have part number on it?
    Can you get a bearing shop to match up a similar sized one?

    I modified a valve cover once and had to replace one of the seals. I took the seal down to bearing services and they just matched it up. It looked a bit different to the others but it was the same size.

    Cheers, Al.
