Question
During the rebuild of a 3vz engine for my 95 4runner, the rear main oil seal cover was inadvertently thrown away.  Where can I find a replacement?

Answer
    Only one place to find that, and that's the Toyota dealer.  Your only other chance would be to find a salvage yard that had a severely blown engine already out of the truck and willing to sell parts off of it.  I doubt you'll find a yard that will do this, so I hope Toyota still services the part.  Good luck.
