Edit:

Toytoapartsdeal still has the pcv hose but the other one is sold out again.

Bummer. Showing both as NLA on toyotapartsdeal.com. You got the last one you lucky rascal.

Thanks. Did not pick it up yet but hopefully the correct one is waiting at the po box. Also affordable OEM head gaskets are getting difficult to find. The rebuilder said a Felpro has had a pretty good record for them but they mostly do it for forklifts which do not have the same hotbox issues.

Run with the Fel Pro... it's actually a quality gasket. The hot box issues aren't going to affect it anymore than the old Toyota one. In my experience this gasket set is great.

I have done MANY Toyota 4 bangers with the fel pro set and nary an issue, PROVIDED you follow the right torque specs and sequence!

hi,
I am looking for replacements of 12262-73010 and 12261-73021 as well.
Can anybody recommend something?
Thank you for your help.

Yep these parts appear to have gone the way of the Dodo bird, has anyone had luck with using bulk vacuum hose or should I be using a different type of hose here? I also need to replace the hose for the AC idle-up diaphragm but I'm assuming that'll be the same type of hose as the other two.
