Toyota wants 300$ for an oil pan gasket to fit a 3b

[stevebradford]

Anybody know the place to go for one?

Do you have the part number?
Call Radd Cruisers?
Amayama.com is a mail order. If you have a part number they will be the cheapest.

No gasket needed. Use gasket gorp. "The right stuff" works best.

 

[Delancy]

Better yet, black FIPG.

High temperature rtv sealant (gasket maker). apply evenly, wait to become tacky, tighten lightly let set and tighten properly.

My 2c

Surprised they even list it. nobody uses them, not even toyota.

X2 on the stuff slownsteady showed. "The right stuff"
I put that sh*# on anything!

I might have a complete gasket kit for the 3B in my shop complete with the oem style cork gasket for the oil pan.

Let me take a look and I will let you know.

I tried the rtv sealant manny years ago it went all slimy and leaked after a year

 

[stevebradford]

Definitely like the cork one!

 

[burnz]

The right stuff is not rtv

 

[stevebradford]

I will check it out thanks!

I paid the $$ for Toyota FIPG a few times and it is great, but when I replaced my big end bearings recently I used a Permatex brand FIPG and it seems to be tough and holding up very well. I'm pretty impressed with it. I can find it and give you the product info if you are interested. It was cheap.

 

[stevebradford]

Yeah if it's holding up well, I just want to keep the oil in

Agree with the right stuff, factory went away from cork and paper, you see on the 1hz and 1hdt use sealant in a tube..

I just bought a gasket set from Specter for a 3b and it didn't even come with a oil pan gasket. I was thinking of just buying a role of gasket paper and making my own.

 

[Gsb15]

Agreed with no gasket, Good sealant works better. Your able to tighten the bolts a little more than with a cork one.

 

[stevebradford]

All right you guys sold me I'm going to try the right stuff thanks!

 

[stevebradford]

I'm giving it a try hopefully it's the right stuff.
