Default Where to get 1uz vvti (gs400/430 ) cam seals?

as the title states trying to see if anyone knows how to get these? Most dealership parts will tell you that its apart of the cam vvti assembly but ive seen a few people dissemble the vvti portion from the cam and replace just the seal versus the whole cam . Anyone done this or know a part number or where to get them?

Sounds like the parts guy at the dealer did not want to sell you the cam seals; they only looked up timing tube assembly Part No. 13050-50010-B0 for about $380.
Probably not knowing that it is shown in another diagram. (pro tip -never ask a parts guy for a part with out a part number) you have do do the work yourself.
I then checked with T0Y0DIY dot COM, Lexus Part No. 90311-71001 SEAL, TYPE T OIL Replaced By 90311-A0004 for about $25 each

So call them back with this part number 90311-A0004 if you want to get it from them, or go aftermarket...
I just did this job a while back with FEL-PRO TCS46050 about $15 for 2 at rockauto.

Good luck
