copper spray works pretty well, but i tried to spray things that wouldn't commonly come off, because sometimes the gasket gets destroyed when removing a part where the gasket has been sprayed.

And unless Toyota have changed the kit in the last few years you'll still need the gasket I mentioned as it's not included ;)

It's in there. ;)

I can take a pic for verification if need be. :D

You need to buy. 04111-42023

It's the big baller ~328 dollar gasket kit. ;)

The other one is 250, and just has the gaskets for the head.

LOL

You're telling me. ;)

Ohh well i'll figure it out as i go.

But Best Bang For the Buck Would have to be the ITM kit.

FailPro is just failure on anything.

Cometic kit looks very nice too. :)

GREAT Gaskets.

I've had a lot of issue with fitment and bore on some of their gaskets.

Materials are great, but R&D seems to lack at feltpro. :nono:

Never used a 7M Feltpro gasket kit.

But i had purchased a Throttle Body Gasket for a Buck, and it was the wrong bore by a big margin, and on My L28 a lot of the gaskets had to be modded. But they were very cheap cost wise, so i didn't care. I have no leaks from the modded gaskets.

People rant about feltpro seals leaking, but i have a feeling improper installation may play a part. :3d_frown:

But for the money I'd still go with a IPT, Stone, or Toyota Kit. (Depending on budget.)

Your Call, Brandon.

I come from a land down under
The big one?

If so cool never used to be in the genuine kits and that's what aftermarket copied so it wasn't in them either....

There are also a bunch of redundant seals that I suspect are 5M or 6M sizes in most kits.

IPT is the one Rennat Posted.

Feltpro isn't cheap so take that into consideration. ;)

Stone is very nicely cut and made.

I was looking at getting the Stone Kit. It says it comes with all the gaskets so I am guessing it comes with the horse shoe gasket as well?

i installed all of mine 'properly' and i've had zero problems. so if you do the same, you shouldnt have any issues either... just take your time and make sure you wipe everything clean with nice cleaner like acetone.
