Need a drivers side valve cover

[Shorehunter99]

I was replacing my valve cover gaskets today and when i pulled my driver side valve cover i found it has a huge crack on the bottom front bolt hole. I had a leak in that spot and figured it was the half moon right near it but its definitely this cracked cover. Wondering if anyone on here has a spare driver side valved cover they would like to sell. If not im gonna check the junk yards and possibly get a quote from the stealership. Thanks in advanced.

Thanks a lot little caesar. Does it matter what year i get a hold of? mine is a 97.

Nah. They should all be the same from any 5vzfe motor. Whether from a t4r, Tacoma, tundra, t100 etc. Even jdm would work. Just make sure it is the correct side of the motor.

Just found a 96 3.4 4 runner at a junk yard and the guy only wants 20 bucks for the valve cover. Im back in business. thanks for the help guys.

Well everything is buttoned back up and so far no leaks. Thanks for the advice guys. Here is a pick of cam gears with the cover off. NOT bad looking for a motor with 166k miles.

Looks good.

Resealing the semi circular plugs along with replacing the cam seal plugs is always a good, proactive move.

Yeah if you are gonna take all the crap off to get to the valve covers you might as well replace those cam seals and reseal those half moons.
