    I'm working on valve cover gaskets replacement for my 04 V8 and I'm noticing I have a few o-rings leftover from my felpro gasket kit. I bought the FEL-PRO VS50592R from rockauto. So far I replaced the rubber seals for the spark plug tubes, the washers for the valve cover bolts, and the valve cover gasket. Any idea on what are all these other misc o-rings and washers? My understanding is this fel-pro kit fits multiple toyota/lexus cars, so I think having leftover stuff is fine, but still asking just in case. See picture :)

    Thanks!20231125_003036.jpg

    Yeah, you don't need any of those. I would have recommended OEM gaskets for the fix, they are far better than FelPro but you should be fine.

    Excellent! Thanks! And yeah last time I did OEM gaskets and tube seals from the stealership but 2 years later I got another oil leak and I'm having to change them again :( so I figured I'll try something else this time around. Hopefully these will last a bit longer.

    Thanks again! :mudding:
