The exhaust cam seal is the same as any other 4A-GE, and the spark plug tube seals are shared with the 1MZ-FE, so of course we can get those:
90311-35040 - $6.84 - Exhaust cam seal
11193-70010 - $2.26 - Spark plug tube seal (x4 = $11.04)
Let me know when you want that downpipe kit. I'm pretty much ready to ship after this weekend. For OEM parts I need you to call and pay with a credit card, but for the exhaust stuff I take Paypal via my personal email address.

I see... Rats! It's a shame to have to get a complete gasket set just for the valve cover gaskets, but so it goes...
Does anyone have any idea if the valve cover gaskets were available in New Zealand? I know that it was strictly a JDM motor, but I thought I would ask.
If you could, e-mail me at ftorrejon *at* earthlink *dot* net with your personal e-mail so I can at least get the B-pipe ordered. I should have the rest figured out soon. It's been a busy couple of weeks at work.
Next question: does anyone re-use the stock oil-cooler, or should I just cap it off and not worry about it? I like the idea of an oil cooler, but I don't like the idea of increased complexity and decreased reliability. I've been reading about a lot of really messy oil leaks...
