3rd Generation Gen3 5SFE Spark plug tube gasket

I called the dealer here for a quote on some spark plug tube seals/gaskets. They quoted me a price of $8 EACH. Not for four -- but for each. I was surprised because they quoted me a price of like $20 for the valve cover gasket.

1) Is $8 reasonable for a spark plug gasket from the OEM?

2) Anyone have a part number for that part?

IMO that's overpriced. But many people like genuine Toyota parts, so if that matters to you it's perfectly fine.

I prefer Fel-Pro gaskets for the most part, $18.26 + shipping for the gasket and 4 tube seals. I've used Victor Reinz ($16.92) as well without problems.

Autozone stocks Fel-pro and they work just fine.
