toyota sealant, whats your thought? Options

[Hanyo]

Hey guys,

I remember a while back when people are doing engine work they would show pictures of a tube of toyota sealant?

I ,of coarse, am a toyota fanboy-whore and would gladly jump on the bandwagon and buy some sealant to do engine work.

Such as honda bond for hondas, is toyota sealant all that great?

anyone know if my local toyota parts dealership will have it in stock or would i most likely have to buy it online?
Where did you guys get yours? its it worth all the trouble to get some when you can easily grab some rtv from autozone/napa/kragens... ect?

i always thought it was a bad idea to re-use the rubber gasket on the valve cover... and being that i cant find the rubber gasket for an st 215 somebody suggested i use some sealant... im weary of it...

Oh hellz no! dont just use sealant, thats a disaster waiting to happen. Call up your local dealer I gurantee you they will stock it. wont be more than 40$

i have to find the part # been searching FOREVER... i have an st 215

took me 5min to find this
