Felpro Vs. Toyota

[liljlandon]

Who makes the better Semi circular plug and Valve cover gasket?
This is going to be my 3rd installation of the felpro, and it always leaks on the back semi circular plug! It was leaking profusely, which caused my clutch to slip, adn that put me in a bad mood. Especially when smoke barrels out of the bottom of you truck

But, i did make it out ok.

And i cant seem to get the carb tuned right. It keeps flooding otu, and ive tried to adjsut it, based on Wristys simple instructions. Still does it! Looks like im going to be either doing 4.88's or a 4.7kit next. After i fix the leak and get sometype of street tire.

The felpro ones that came with my gasket kit were way too big, and would never come close to sealing... Go get some Toys!

I think you answered your own question right there.

You can never beat a factory part as long as its still available. OEM is always better. I personally use no sealant on them. Most dealer mechs. will put a little something on them. Use any sealer sparingly. Serious! And make sure theirs no remnants of any previous sealing compounds, as comebacks cost all involved. How many times you use the same non OEM plug? third time?
