Nengun, RHDJapan, Greenline, TokyoSeven, or streeter can have them here reasonably quick. Dont know anyone that would carry them in stock in australia.

Yeah there is an EXTERNAL oil drain in the small port heads... Don't think it alters the gasket any...

serious? ive ordered them from castle hill over the phone. just rang up, he was like yeah what thickness you want? get one to you tomorow. done

also from perth at city toyota they like yeah i know the ones send one to you if you want.

must be the dealership you went to. i will admit some toyota dealerships, as others, have no farking idea and want even bother to try to help unless easy for them

i remember having a fight with the parts guy at galleria toyota. he swore black and blue that ae101 from japan didnt have 4ag and only the 20v was in ae111. i gave him numbers off the plate from my halfcut. he didnt even wanna check them cause he told me he isnt gonna waste his time that i was full of shit. so i drove there and threw the plate at him and told him to sort his shit out. he got my parts and the parts manager even rang me to apologize about him that afternoon
