2F Valve Seals - Sombrero or shorty version

[SAFJ60]

Rebuilding my rebuilt head. Relapping all valves. I was given 12 sombrero style seals left over from my engine rebuild. The builder abandoned the Tieken brand and ordered SBI seals. A bargain at $1.91 each. A couple have already cracked and torn at 1000 miles with some installed cock-eyed.

I am going to go oem, but my per a 40-55-series seal thread, some people cut off and use the bottom of the sombrero for spring seat, and go with oem on top.

Is a thing?

Who has the best deal on OEM seals?

Thanks,
Joel

OE = Original equipment (Toyota Branded)
OEM = Original Equipment Maker

The OE seal is the shorty 90913-02048 for late 2F 3F 3FE

The taller with seat is 90913-02030, 75-78? though I've always seen them listed interchangeably.

I have seen threads where people cut and use the 'seat' though I've never personally seen or done it.

As for OE, you'll have to search on price. Made in Japan Stone (NOK is the OEM) is probably OEM, but don't know.

Valve Stem Oil Seal - Fits 8/1980-8/1992 2F/3F Applications (VCC02048) - https://cruiserteq.com/valve-stem-oil-seal-fits-8-1980-8-1992-2f-3f-applications-vcc02048/ Cruiser Outfitters sells quality.

Not sure if the CO seals are OEM or not. Maybe @cruiseroutfit will answer?

Depends on the kit, we have OEM kits which are all OEM Toyota i.e. Genuine Toyota, we then have Japanese kits that will have Japanese seals, most often NOK which as you noted is the OEM manufacture for Toyota, so there is some overlap on many parts.

For reference we use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and more specifically "OEM Toyota" to describe our parts that are right out of a Toyota box or bag. These will have the Toyota Genuine Parts logo on them in most cases and we list the manufacture as "OEM Toyota Genuine Part" on CruiserTeq.com

As for the seals themselves, for the F/2F/3F, there are (4) OEM Toyota options. Here is a pic I've shared in some other similar threads. Again, these are all Genuine Toyota offerings, we have Japanese also available for the 02017 and 02048 as noted. This pic is a year or two old and we may have even more Japanese options now.
