Any suggestions as to which gaskets/ seals I should change since im doing this job of changing my timing belt, valve cover, cam and crank seals. ??

CAM SEAL 9031138036 FAILED on my 1UZ-FE
Sha...I used the 36 as recommended when this post was made a couple weeks ago.
However, last night the i noticed a major leak which was comming from the right cam seal which i changed .
Should I purchase the 9031138046 instead this time ?

DIY is keeping the cost down. Don't skimp on the parts better to go the extra mile. If your not paying someone to do it that gives you tons more $ to get parts you normally would not if a shop was doing it. Besides a shop would pad the bill with parts.

Ill get the p/n 36 again...
Its only the left side cam seal thats leaking ...mind you i changed both seals a couple mnths ago.
i dont know why it started back to leak all of a sudden.
could it be that the seal turned or something ? how can i prevent that from happening a 3rd time ?

Hmmm.. Silicone, always better to be safe than sorry. Since its just the right CAM seal thats leaking, i recon i should remove the left as well and also put silicone there since im doing the job one time...I honestly can't take another oil leak from these cams....im fedup....

Well The FSM (factory service manual) calls for FIPG on my model year to seal the front bearing which has to be removed as well as the camshafts to replace the seal so I doubt that it would hurt anything since it's used to seal the oil pan and various other places on the engine.
