AE92 how to obtain valve cover gasket set

ok this is goin to sound super dumb but here it goes..

I have a 1990 geo prizm with a 4a-fe .

The Problem is i orignally i needed to change just the botton gasket so i went to advanced auto parts big mistake they gave me wrong gasket it came in 2 peices and they wasnt even big enough well long story short we put the one it had back on it was just seated wrong..well now here lies the big problem the rubber gourments that go on the bolts that hold the cover on are shot and some of the spark plug wire gaskets are leakin.

so yea i lose alot of oil burn a lil but lose alot so much it comes out by the pasenger headlight and gets on the hood i check my oil every morning and before i leave at night and keep a healthy supply of oil on hand..


So my Question is will toyota service department have all these parts or are they gonna look at me like im a waterhead cause i drive a geo and im at toyota cause i dont trust advance anymore they have even sold me the wrong muffler dahhh but anyways any input on where i can get the set would be appricated i dont mind a lil burnin it has over 200k on it its gonna burn just not leak like this thanks for any input and thoughts

you can get the gasket parts at toyota, they'll probably have the knowledge about the gaskets there.

Just go to the Toyota Dealership and ask for 1990 4dr Corolla gaskets, they only came with 4AFEs. Remember they were practically built at the same plant.. just under a different name.
