  • New oil cap? PCV hoses?Breather?

    The rubber on my oil cap is is no longer elastic. I use a piece of cork gasket material to seal it. Can you get a replacement somewhere? I tried the parts store and no luck.I was thinking maybe having someone weld a threaded bung to accept the later style threaded cap. Also what aboout the PCV hoses from the manifold to the seperator any suggestions. And while I'm at it can you still get the breather on the valve cover?

    As far as the oil seperator off the valve cover gasket I'll probaly just get a catch can like I seen in some other posts. I came across this and thought someone might be intested in doing it themselves http://www.y8s.com/celica/air-oil/ .I'll probably just buy one.

      Most auto parts stores sell a replacement...they are not exactly like the original one, but they will work. They are cheap enough that you might want to try to take the rubber part off and try to put it on your old one.

        The only cap that I found had some god awful tube coming out from the center of the cap. I'll see if I can figure something out with a piece of rubber.

          the piece of rubber (on mine) is just a rubber O-ring
