    question about head gasket!

    Not exactly mythical just going based off research Older Cometic/Titan Newer extended front rivet Cometic/Titan Sorry if there is a such thing as a crush style rivet on MHG's but as far as i know you dont want anything interfering with the MHG seal between the head and the block deck

    question about head gasket!

    Theres no such thing as a crush type rivet, but the newer gaskets dont have issues with being crushed, make sure its actually holding it up before you pull the head. If you are removing the radiator cap when the coolant is warm, coolant is going to come out as its under pressure unless its cold.

    Average water temp?

    head gasket

    File it down my ass, that engine should be given back to him and repaired by him at his cost... No way you are going to get it filed down flat not to mention youre throwing metal filings directly into the crankcase... Have him machine it again with the timing cover installed (which BTW means...

    head gasket

    Looks like someone put it together with a head shim. They are used to compensate for having teh block/head machined. From what i have heard they are generally bad news and ive seen many threads lately on peoples gaskets failing, and then they find a shim in there. Its metal on metal sealing so...

    Mechanical or electric oil pressure gauge?

    I would trust a mechanical gauges accuracy over electric any day. If you dont mind running a tube, go mechanical in my opinion.

    Cams/Cam Journals... (How did this happen?)

    I had purchased a 7mgte a while back and it turned out the person had somehow rounded off an arp nut.. He tried using an easy out to get it off and ended up breaking it, so his wonderful solution was to grind/cut it off with a dremel in car... Tore the thing down and this is what the bearings...

    bottom end rebuild question

    A lot of times gasket sets will include extras, that might be the case. The CPS uses an oring, and the oil filter head uses a large o ring, maybe thats what you have. You need to make sure the timing belt crank pulley goes on and through the seal, then the lower cover goes on, then the balancer.

    possible suggestions someone?

    You need a cap rated for 13psi. But if you have a cooling system pressure tester you can test the cap with that too. I had a pretty severe BHG and had no oil in the coolant, no coolant in the oil, the overflow would just spew coolant everytime i drove it hard. There was a small combustion leak...
