Few questions:
Why do you need to know the manufacture year to buy parts for it?
What sort of parts do you want to buy?
What colour are the injectors?

To order parts for it, like a gasket kit, and a woodriffe key, i need to know the production year cause apparentally they are different, that is what the guy at castlehill toyota said.
I am unsure of the colours of injectors i will have a look

Find out the injector colour, that'd be a good start, then we can narrow it down to a Gen2 or a Gen3. (Or if it has a water/air cooler it's a Gen1).
What gaskets are you chasing?
Why are you replacing the woodruff key? Is it f**ked?

I was fairly precautionary when I did mine, but there is a limit to just how much maintenance I felt was required.
You should be able to tell the dealer it's from a GA70 Supra from pre-88, as yellow injector plugs is a Gen2 engine. I wouldn't really be getting anything from a dealer I didn't have to though, and for me that'd only be the cam cover gaskets.
I personally wouldn't touch the inlet or exhaust gaskets unless there is currently a problem with them. Cam cover seals are $50 each trade. Seals for the timing cover I just made from squished vacuum hose, not that they actually seal anything.
I changed the oil pump seal, the front and rear main seals, the cam seals and eventually the waterpump (although I think the non-existent gasket was the problem there. Just remove these oil seals and take them to a bearing place and match them up. If they're original, they'll be made by NOK and have their part #'s on them. Same seals will cost you about 4 times as much from dealership.
Hope that helps dude.
