Required Resealing Components

These options supply the valve cover components listed below, not a complete upper-engine service kit. Intake and access seals are not included; separate resealing parts must match the vehicle and the repair requirements.

For the U.S.-market applications, the following components are required for factory valve-cover service, are not included, and must be sourced and purchased separately by the customer:

• 1 upper-plenum-to-intake-manifold gasket.
• 2 EGR gaskets: one valve-adapter gasket and one outlet-to-intake-manifold gasket.
• 2 cold-start-injector fuel-union sealing washers matched to the vehicle's production date.
• Engine seal packing specified for the 3VZ-E valve-cover application. A new retail tube is not needed when correct, serviceable shop supply is already available.

Which Valve Cover Gasket Should You Buy?

Genuine Toyota — Best for Factory-Original Maintenance and Restorations

Choose Genuine Toyota when keeping Toyota factory parts is your priority. Select Single to replace a gasket on one bank or Pair for both banks; rear camshaft plugs are not included.

Fel-Pro PermaDry — Best for Affordable Two-Bank Resealing

Choose the Fel-Pro PermaDry Valve Cover Gasket Set when you want both valve cover gaskets at a lower total cost. The molded-rubber set also offers a configuration with two rear camshaft plugs if those parts need replacing.

Our Recommendation: For most owners renewing both valve cover gaskets, Fel-Pro PermaDry offers the better value. Choose Genuine Toyota for an OEM-focused restoration or a single-bank replacement.

Available Configurations

• Single: 1 valve cover gasket for one bank.
• Pair: 2 valve cover gaskets for both banks.
