What is this part Called?

On passenger side, front of engine near the top. Square plate with gasket. I can't recall it's name.

 

That my friend is what’s commonly known as a thigamajig, glad i could help.

 

aka whatchamacallit

although, my dad always referred to them as a chingadera.

 

Everyone is wrong. That’s a flamshooter. Now it does connect to a thigamagig. But only on 5th gen’s.

 

Better view.

 

Some type of hose bracket?

 

It’s just an inspection port or access to timing. Timing cover plate.

 

I believe it's the timing chain tensioner/inspection cover plate.

 

Don't open it! It's the gate to hell.

 

Id call it a "square plate with a gasket" .

 

Toyota 11324-31020 Plate, Timing Chain Cover

 

Oh, THAT! That's a fluglebinder.

 

That is the engine timing chain cover and the gasket in it is known to leak. Specially on older/high mileage 4runners.
Very often confused with a timing cover leak.
The gasket is $12 and the part number is 11328-31030.
Replace gasket if leaking. Just 4 bolts. Use a torque wrench.

 

A plumbus.

 

Thanks for the serious answer. I appreciate it.

 

Thank you.
