I have a gasket leak under the front water bypass on my 2000 LX470. I have a new front bypass, gaskets and a new water inlet. I plan on removing the throttle body to get access.
This new OEM water inlet has a pre-installed black gasket attached to the water inlet surface (photo). I have only seen timing belt install instructions that tell you to put FIPG here but they don't have the rubber pre-installed gasket. Do I just install as is or does this also take FIPG? Seems foolish to do both. Sorry if this has been covered before.
