Purity14 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have a oil leak that seems to be coming from the rocker cover on my n/a.. does anyone know the part numbers for everything required so I can order them from toyota? I'm going to undertake the task myself, I can't imagine it will be difficult, any tips? Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Same here, so this information would be usefull to me also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Have a quick check to see if all the bolts are tight (but not too tight) first, its quite common for some of the bolts to loosen, they only need nipping up mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Makes sense, I will do that this weekend before going ahead and ordering gaskets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yeah I didnt think about that, kinda obvious really.. Ill tighten them up tomorrow and throw some cardboard under the car to see if I get a new patch.. Iirc the gaskets have already been replaced about 50k ago.. So fingers crossed I wont have to work on my car in the cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Brendan, I have all the gaskets from when I had the car and I was convinced there was a leak. In the end the bolts weren't tight and I never had a problem again. I have got 11214-46011 x 1 11213-46020 x 1 11273-46010 x 1 11274-46010 x 1 11239-46020 x 1 11229-46020 x 1 11249-46020 x 1 I have a feeling there is one missing. I have a diagram somehwere. I paid around £35 from Toyota, you can have them for a small fee..!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Ahhhh okay.. I get it now.. Thanks paul, ill nip them up tomorrow like I said and sure.. If the leak still exists ill certainly pop round with some moneys.. And the diagram would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 If there the original seals then they go hard and shrink which is why the bolts go loose and they leak. If there the same as tt cam covers then they will have o ring washers on the bolts which you should also change and i'd pop a new set of plugs in while you stripping the manifold off Be very careful tightening the bolts as the covers are prone to cracking if overdone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the plugs last year with iridiums so I'm still good.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Not sure on the torque but should be in the WSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are about £3 from Toyota. You can have these off me if you want mate. I can't use them on the TT as far as I know. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 my advice from doing this is, when you get to removing the covers, get a good brake/clutch cleaner and carefully apply to a cloth etc to then thoroughly degrease the head surfaces the seal contacts.....you don't want any/lots getting into the head/cams area so take your time. Look at the blobs of sealant at the front of the covers but the camshaft pulley for a guide to how big your new blob should be! Also most importantly I checked the bolts a day to two after doing mine and they needed loads more nipping up, I think the rubber settles early on.

SupraP-Z Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Great advice here, i need to do this on mine, was getting a burning oil smell from the back of the engine. Hopefully this should stop the slow leak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have new seals in stock, and can easily beat Toyota prices, but unless yours have gone hard just re torquing the bolts should fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
