What each part is
- Timing cover gasket set: seals the cover to the engine.

Check first
- Your engine and VIN.
- Use the seller fitment tool to confirm each number.
FAQ
Which timing cover seal fits a 1998 RAV4?
Only the AISIN kit names the RAV4 in its title; confirm every other number with your VIN.
Are shaft seals the same as a cover gasket?
No. They seal the shafts, not the cover joint.
How do I know a listing fits my RAV4?
Match the model years in the listing to yours. The RAV4 changed shape in 2006, 2013 and 2019, so a part for one generation will not fit another.
Can I install it myself?
Check the install notes in the listing and your owner manual; if unsure, ask a mechanic.
