Best valve cover gaskets for 5VZ???

hey guys. Going to replace my valve cover gaskets soon just to be safe. Running 11psi on my turbo 5VZ. What's the best valve cover gaskets to withstand pressure?

 

I would think OEM. Couldn't imagine some aftermarket brand being better.

 

Can't imagine Fel-pro being any worse for something like a valve cover gasket ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I got mine from LCE. You shouldn't have pressure under your valve covers though, at least not much. Do you have a build thread? Check out this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/turbo-bs-thread.481844/

 

OEM Toyota or Stone. The Stone kit is easier to buy since they don't piece meal per part to get all the parts you need. It's also made in Japan. You will also need RTV for the cam plugs

 

Here's the first video my buddy Sean and I made together to launch our "Timmy the Toolman" YouTube channel. OP, I think you'll find it useful.

To each his own, I reckon.

 

OEM is probably going to be your best bet, however more important than the gasket is cleaning your mating surfaces and applying OEM black FIPG in the right spots. (A dab at each corner of the cam humps and to re-seal the half moon plugs)

 

Yes!! Definitely re-seal the cam plugs!!
