Get the complete gasket kit and just pull the motor. Its the best way, then you don't have any leaks or crap to worry about for the next 100k miles or more. I also recomend rebuilding the PS system while the motor is out, as well as the alternator.

Well Beno is CORRECT:
a) AFAIK he has NEVER lied,
b) the part that was labelled 16351A in the drawing "- Tool/Engine/Fuel Grp >16-03 - RADIATOR & WATER OUTLET" that I (and my local parts guy) believed was different and smaller was NOT ... in fact the part that arrived was labelled 90301-29006 and was EXACTLY the same as the other 3 "O" rings that were included in my gasket kit.... as Beno correctly identified.
c) These gaskets fit the "Pipe" UNFORTUNATELY, I still dont have the correct "O" ring for the face of the "Water Bypass Outlet". Because the machined circular groove in the face of the water bypass outlet is smaller in diameter than the multiple "O" rings I now own and will not accept the larger "O" rings.
d) I give up and will continue to use the old "O" ring until it leaks ... then FIPG
(if anybody else runs into this issue I would be interested in hearing from them. Has my outlet been swapped?) 1997 LX450

Water bypass pipe on the PS of the engine by the timing cover above the thermostat housing.
That's probably for earlier Land Cruisers ? I don't see it fitting anywhere in my 1997 Land Cruiser.
It is there for all 1FZ-FE engines.
You can't miss it. It is a good sized aluminum tube that is pressed onto a sleeve that is pressed onto the top of the thermostat housing. The top part of the tube gets held into the head of the engine by 2 bolts.

You don't see quite a large hole on the top front, PS of the head? It would be hard to miss.

I see a quite large there but I thought that there is going only the sleeve with the pipe. I don't remember taking out gasket like this.
OK. I've really given you all of the information I can possibly give you without being there to point it out.
There are 3 orings there: 1 to the head where the pipe mates and then 2 orings where the pipe goes on the sleeve and then where the sleeve goes into the the top of the thermostat housing.

I think that we have a little of misunderstanding , I know about the three o-rings , the o-ring I am discussing is much much bigger. See the picture I provided . It is the only o-ring of that size in the kit. Don't loose patience with me Beno
Do I recall that this kit was discontinued? can you only buy the full engine kit now? If so, does it include everything you need now?
This kit is not discontinued.
I have them in stock.

What is in Toyota 04111-66045 ? I found one really cheap
Did you ever get a part number for that black rubber piece on the bottom of that bypass tubelike this ?
Did you ever get a part number for that rubber pieceI am talking about the o-ring or whatever it is on the top.
Did you ever get a part number for that thicker Larger o ring ?I am talking about the o-ring or whatever it is on the top.
Thicker oring is for the oil filler cap: 90430-37140
