FEL-PRO Part Number VS50494R. You're welcome
MaxEdit: I'm sorry I didn't see you only needed the rear, but you might as well change the front anyway since you're gonna throw all the effort into taking out the rear.

For the few extra bucks an 30 more minutes of time I would do the front also. Also get the guide tube seals too, rockauto has the complete valve cover gasket set including guide tube seals for $37 bucks made by felpro.

May as well do everything as recommened by renots (front, rear valve cover and spark plug tube seals) once and done.
Hell, I would add knock sensor, IACV, EGR, and throttle body cleaning too. All those items are way easier to access with the UIM off

EDITED because yI in-correctly specfied to remove the UIM to work on the front valve cover.

ok guys thanks for the advice. I may as well do the gaskets and tube seals at the same time, I've also gotta do the knock sensor also as well as a change a fuel injector right beneath the intake manifold. it will b a good project for me lol.

I might add that it is time consuming. I did mine and it took all day(because I didnt seat the intake manifold gasket correctly and had to take it off after bolting everything back together).
So it should take half a day if you take your time and clean the intake manifold.
Something I also learned:
Toyota makes the best rtv black sealant, that I know of. Use to cost $10 a tube, and it's well worth the bucks.
