hey freebie guy... the part number you are requesting is for an 84 and up (17173-58010)... for your bj42 1981 model you need A 17173-56020 straight from my catalog. (17173- is exhaust 17172- is intake) I am not sure of the 17173-56022, this might be an oem number change
 
Here it is!

The gasket that is no longer available from Toyota (local dealer) arrived yesterday from a Toyota dealer 60 miles away? who had no trouble finding it in Vancouver:confused:
Here's a picture showing the part number, it seems there are several different part numbers for the same gasket based on the model and year, not sure still new to toyota parts and the EPC
head gasket part number2.webp
 
Bring the gasket to the guys boss....
 
fairly typical for toyota dealers around here to be like that. my favourite, is demanding I prepay for a 3 dollar shifter bushing.

my waterpump was the same way, nanaimo were total dicks about it, no discount, not here, don't know when it will be.
 
I know this is old but I thought I'd bring it up again,

I just got this gasket from my local Toyota dealer, ordered it yesterday, picked it up today. There wasn't even a question with it. It was stock in Vancouver.

Anyone else see these gaskets and use them?

This gasket looks odd.... too thin to seal a warped manifold. Mine on my 84(late 83 build) is thick. But like a said they last freaking forever. I re-used my old gasket when I went turbo with a bead of rtv on both sides of the gasket to help seal. No leaks yet and 14k km on the gasket now.

This thin gasket would worry me. Use red rtv when you install. Also I hope it doesn't interfer with the heater lines that cross there.

That is a metal gasket made up of 4 thin plates that squish together and have a small indent in each to "mate" better. I'm also a bit leary on the gasket and will most likely use some sort of high heat silicon (RTV?) on the mating surfaces. I'm having a manifold made for me and will have the plate machined flat after welding is done (I have access to a great steel shop with lots of willing helpers, beer goes a long way ;) )
