22re oil cap? (1 Viewer)

[STAGE 2]

I've got a crack in my original 85 oil cap for the 22re (the one that says toyota on it). The dealer has a replacement but its not the same as the original (it looks like a pepboys special). Anybody know of a place that might have a NOS oil cap to match mine or am I stuck with the classifieds?

Thats not the one that came on my pickup. Mine has the same shape but is recessed in the middle and has no jap markings.

As far as I know, the T3Q cap was stock for the 20R/22R/RE.

Nonetheless, an oil cap's an oil cap. As much as I love OEM parts, I would gladly run anything that kept my engine from spewing oil all over my engine bay.

One of the TRD caps fit. Much nicer than stock.

The TEQ cap pictured was on the early 22r-series until the block changed in late '84. Cap and valve cover changed after that.

I have a TEQ cap you can have for shipping. I thought I still had my "Toyota" cap, but can't find it. I have one more place to look.

Appreciate the responses guys. I'm dead set on finding an exact replacement so it looks like the pick a part is where I'm headed.

Lots of mid-late 1980's Toyota's had the cool TEQ style cap.

I got about 6 of them off of Corollas, Camrys, and some early pickups.

I think I paid $2 each.

Many Toyota caps from many of their engines will fit...just scratch off the markings for 5W-20 oil if you farm out oil changes.

LOL I think I sent one to Jared once? Lol I dont think we knew Toyota still sold them or something back then?

Unless my rig was an absolute showpiece stock truck that never left the garage, then I would really care so much about the oil cap, but, in reality, whatever keeps the engine from blowing oil all over the place should be fine.

well in that case a sock werks just fine




































dont ask me how I know

Yep! That one is on Green Bastard, and my nastier TEQ cap is on my dad's 84 Mini.

Will the older cap and valve cover fit on a later 22re?
I come across them in junkyards from time to time, have always thought they looked cool.

 

[KLF]

I know the cap does, but not sure on the valve cover.

 

[pappy]

The cover will probably fit, but may not work with EFI stuff.

It is oem. Its the same one that came on my 1985 4runner.
