Soo my cars picking oil, I need new valve cover gaskets and seals! oh how I hope the previous owner really got the general maintenance done! but can anyone point me to the right direction and not get crap parts for a good price? just need the seals and maybe idlers and valve cover gaskets, boy this will be fun! I'll be checking out lextreme for some stuff.

amazon is where I got my gaskets and tube seals. no more oil leaks. from that exact spot...

Don't forget the half moon gaskets. On the rear of the covers if your model has them. Those will leak too.

Rockauto.com is good for gaskets. just buy a decent brand name

What are some good brand names for gaskets, that's my big question, idk who's reputable and who's not.

has the timing belt been done? might as well do it while you are there since it has to come off anyways to replace the cam seals.

some timing belt/water pump kits on ebay come with idlers, cam and crank seals with the rest of the stuff. if you want other gaskets, why not go OEM? Sewell lexus has a good price discount for club lexus members. search here and you can find how to redeem the discount.

I can't imagine going with a non-Toyota part on something as invasive and time consuming to change as a crank or cam seal

I bought the Lexus valve cover gasket kit from the dealer it was 140.00

the previous owner supposedly got it done, if it has why the heck didn't they replace the seals anyways. Now i have to go back and fix their mistake, ill be checking the motor out more thoroughly later. I would like to go OEM but im trying to save some money but hey if its just a tad more ill go for that.

(2) Valve Cover Gaskets
Maybe idler pulleys since my friend recommended it, ill be going to toyota tomorrow to see how much these will run me. I know there will be other stuff that i'll have to replace that isnt usable after i take them off too.
