the gasket set was 167 quid and 50 quid for the head gasket, im thinking of buying the head gasket from toyota but the remaining gaskets i.e turbo, manifold, plenum etc elsewhere. does this seem ok.

only the american ebay site has a selection of gaskets. the uk one has nothing really, very odd.



another question im afraid. The plate that sits between the 2 rockercovers what is this, mine looks really
worn and peeling? its the one thast sits over the top of the spark plugs.

Don' buy a head gasket from ebay. Why don't you try buying the gaskets from a US shop. The exchange rate would treat you very well. Try Jeff at Champion toyota 1-800-327-2087 and mention the forums and the guy from Loxahatchee. They are a toyota dealership and they give the forums great prices.
