sometimes it is. I googled and nothing gave me a store to buy them, i figured it couldnt be this hard to find a gasket? so I asked here if someone knew of a place to go. but anyway thanks.

 

you guys think this is correct? There is no toyota part number associated with it.

 

So, I provided you the link to the actual part at an actual Lexus dealer, and you source it on Amazon for more money($9 vs $6)??

 

ya but shipping made it 25.00, on amazon it was prime so free shipping came to 18.00 ( i needed two )

 

Makes sense. It can be a challenge to find those gaskets, and it seems like they are the last thing you want to want to have to deal with after the major disassembly required just to get to the starter. Just curious, but why did you take off your front water bypass? It wasn't in the way when I changed my starter.

 

I did the rear, the gasket is the same apparently. And yes it is very frustrating that it isn't carried anywhere locally. Thanks.
