Got oil on top of your spark plugs??

IHateHacks · 02-09-2007, 02:47 AM

I don't know what the part number for the no.3 cylinder head gasket is, because I didn't replace mine I threw it in the garbage because that is what it is- garbage.

Since you asked, I went to NAPA and got 4 gaskets Part # 704-1076.

Wow, I thought you guys had enough sack to bring 1 of your 14mm allen head bolts to a parts store and figure it out for yourself, I had to. I guess I have to spoon feed information to you people.

Anything else I can help you with?

so i have a black thing going across where all my plugs are, is that the spark plug well seal? or is that just like a cover and the problem is deffinetly the cylinder head cover bolt seals? Thanks.

If you read the first post, I said there are no plug well seals on a 7M. Go look at any other OHC engine and you will see that the spark plug wires go through the valve cover. Those are where plug seals are. Do our plug wires go through the valve covers? No? Then we don't have spark plug well seals. That black thing is your No.3 cylinder head cover AND gasket. Its a one piece combination cover and gasket. See the picture in the first post? See the yellow circles? Those 4, 14mm allen head bolts are what holds the No.3 cylinder head cover in place. They thread into the oil gallery. That is where the oil comes from. Those 4, 14mm allen head bolts are where the oil comes from. Should I repeat it 3 times like they do in commercials? I don't care how you do it, you can RTV your stock No.3 cylinder head cover like some cheapskates do, or you can throw your No.3 cylinder head cover in the garbage and use oversized drain plug gaskets like I did, or you can go get ripped off at the dealer for a new No.3 cylinder head cover.

I guess I should have warned you guys in the first post, you must have some kind of mechanical knowledge to do what I did, because obviously people are still confused as to what I'm talking about, even with pictures. I bet if I showed you in person, you still would not comprehend. I guess thats why Toyota designed the head like this, to confuse people and make them bring their cars to the dealer. Job security.
