JiP Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Yes!! I used aftermarket O rings on mine and they leaked. So when I got the new tubes and new O rings they didn't. Just comparing the aftermarket and the genuine O rings in your hand and you can really feel the difference in quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz_Rx Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Every Toyota dealership will have a genuine parts department somewhere in the building. Go down for a visit or just give them a call. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Just go to the parts counter at the service centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiP Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Thats one thing that worries me. The only place to get those tubes is from Toyota and when they discontinue them there nowhere to buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charl Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 might have to look into getting some machined up or something eventually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLO-030 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 The spark plug tube O-rings i got in my ACL gasket kit were brilliant. Used them with original tubes on my old 4k and never had an oil leak issue with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
