No I threw that thing away to the trash when I put in some plastic gaskets from Napa but they weren't as snug as I would have liked them to be.

Tisk, tisk... well, if they're not sealing they'll leak a bit and it will also cause a vacuum leak. Double them up if need be. Me, I'd toss them, take one of the plugs to A & A Tradin' Post on Broadway and buy a few nice fat O-rings which fit the plug just firmly enough.

Ok, here's the update I was down for about two weeks or so because of several problems that happened at once and waiting for parts from the Toyota Stealership. First my timing was out bad where it wouldn't start, had to wait for a connector from my wiring harness that was broken, and on top of that my starter went out. I proceeded by replacing the plugs, rotor, and cap. So I had to take off the throttle body and the intake manifold to reach the starter. I swapped out the starter and the positive terminal cable. On top of that I changed out some more hoses that were old and had heat damage; replaced the factory hose clamps with some better ones. Also, had to replace the intake manifold gaskets, because they became damaged upon removal. Then I put it all back together and connected the coolant lines together that ran from the throttle body and adjusted the timing with some great advice from CRE, by the way thanks for the help and for stopping by

Now she sounds GREAT and runs better than before!!!
