I'm mostly done with a 3.0 rebuild on my t100 but I can't find this fuel injector spacer/seal anywhere! Does anyone know if it was replaced with something that looks different?
That grommet is actually the upper seal on the injector. What I'm looking for is the cup that slides over the bottom of the injector. Here is a pic with it on the injector.
It's in the same drawing from Lakeland, and it's the second part in the Amazon listing.
The grommet is NOT a seal, it's just a spacer. The seal is by the o-ring (the third part in the Amazon listing).
The Vibration Insulator does sit in a "cup," which is the part you had the part number for (90561-10002). It's called a "spacer," but it holds the injector in the intake manifold. Yours are probably fine, but it wouldn't hurt to replace the big o-ring.
Over the tip of the injector is the Pintle cap. Yours looks okay, but they are pretty fragile and may come apart as your remove the insulator. There is no Toyota part number for them, but they are pretty easily available after-market. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-3-0L-V6-Fuel-Injector-Service-Repair-kit-Seals-Pintle-Caps-O-rings-/400936842971?hash=item5d59b2b6db
So the part pictured in my original post is just a spacer and not a seal? Even though it is deteriorating it isn't something that should be replaced? Is it the part on the bottom of the picture of the eBay listing?
Even though it doesn't look the same 23291-46010 is the actual part I would be looking for?
So far as I can tell from a picture of a squished piece of rubber, the part you are holding is the insulator (it does provide a small amount of sealing between the vacuum of the intake manifold and outside). Above the injector is a spacer. Once you pull the injector out of the rail, you'll be able to see the o-ring (which is the gasoline seal). If you have the injectors out of the manifold, you should replace all of those pieces of rubber/plastic. (and that is one nasty looking injector; you could also consider having them cleaned internally http://witchhunter.com/)
