Im trying to find a metal head gasket for my 3t-gteu.
Ive been searchin aussie websites trying to find gaskets for a 3tgteu but have only been able to find them advertised as 2TG/3TG.
Just wanted experienced advise on whether these gaskets are the sasme thing or interchangable. Do the have the same plubming in the block and head etc.
Also any advise on places in Brisbane / Australia that i could get a metal head gasket.

I have only been to toyota spare parts so far.
Toyota wants to charge me $352 for a genuine toyta 3tgteu VRS kit from japan.
Firstly I would like to know if they are interchangable to avoid havin to order internationally.

headgaskets are the same.
bottom end gasket kits are the same.
VRS is different cause the inlet manifold and possibly valvestem seals are different.

Thanks pheonix83,
I know the VRS kits will be different, i just thought i would do the lot while i had head off and was ordering from japan.
So definately no issues with plumbing of oil and water between the head and the block if i use and standard 3tg gasket?

Thanks setsuna
I gave those guys a call today and ordered a 2mm Gasket.
With sealant and postage it was $150 delivered to brissy.
he will make it tommorowa and post it straight away. You cant beat that for service. Sure beats a 3 week wait from japan for hks gaskets, and a whole lot cheaper.
To clarify my own question, the 3tg and 3tgte have slightly different gasket.
The 3tg gasket has 8 holes where the pushrods were and the 3tgte gasket only has 4.
Which means the more common 3tg/2tg gaskets are still interchangable onto the 3tgte as the extra holes simply wont be used.
