2F Valve Cover Question

[Will Van]

Edit: I have updated the first post to include the consolidated info contained later in the thread. See below.

I realize there are a couple different versions of the 2F valve cover. Specifically, the "tall" version for '75 - '80 trucks. And the "short" version with the stamped Toyota and 2F logo for '81 to '87 trucks.

My question is, did Toyota ever offer the "tall" version of the valve cover with a threaded oil fill cap? Or were all threaded oil fill caps on the short version?

Thanks!

Here are the various covers I know of. Feel free to ID and add to the list.

Early style (1975 - 1979) "Tall" 2F valve cover with push-on oil cap. No "2F" branding machined into cover (just a sticker in the photo).

Late Style (1979 - 1980) "Tall" 2F Valve Cover with thread-on oil cap. With "2F" and "TEQ" machined into valve cover. 2F branding is on the valve cover face (This is the cover I am looking for). Photo Credit: @GA Architect

It seems like my 79 fj40 has a threaded cap!

I think the tall cover I got from Mark's Off road has a threaded cap. Rig is in storage now so I can't check. @65swb45 would know

Looking for a core valve cover to powder coat. Hoping to get the version with the threaded oil cap.

Make sure you get the 4 keeper nuts and rubber gasket.

Thanks for the bump. I think I have one valve cover left of that type. Per my sig line, I am off for the holiday. PM me your number and I will call you Monday when I can check.

Does anyone make stainless steel “dress up” valve cover nuts for the 2F?

I don’t think all shiny is factory correct.

I have not seen Chrome yet ?

But , My Online Parts Store Offers Some New Factory TOYOTA " Snappy " SILVER ZINC plated Nuts W/ OEM Grommets / top seals

Also , my Kit comes with a New TEq Screw-In Oil Cap

Dang PO didn't take care of the VC.....so, it needed a little help.

I figured my rebuilt 2F needed a refurbished VC?

If I have the valve cover you are looking for, I can also offer you a set of period correct domed acorn nuts and grommets to go with it. I have a box of them, but only sell them with valve covers now.

That’s exactly what I’m looking for!

I didn’t realize they made the Tall valve cover with the “2F” and “Toyota” logo embossing. Plus the threaded oil fill cap!

I don't believe they do. My tall valve cover does have the "2F" embossed but no "Toyota" embossing.
