I cant tell from the pic too well, but almost looks like the rear timing cover was not machined with the block deck, and if the picture is telling the truth thats an awful lot higher than the deck and i cant imagine how your gasket would seal properly.

Bad ass video, but a lot of stupid parts, i thought the paintball part was just retarded and should have been left out. That subbie sounds fuckin beastly though..

People say to use Toyota exhaust manifold gasket, not Felpro, not anything else, but personally i have used a felpro with no problems whatsoever. Its worth it checking your manifold for flatness, if it is warped it wont seal regardless. You can have your machine shop put it on the belt sander if...

Im still having a really difficult time deciding what head gasket i want to go with. I would like to do a MHG, but if that is the case, i would have to have the block deck machined, have the head machined, and buy a MHG. If i were to go with stock, i wouldn't have to worry about doing any of...

I have never heard of needing to do this, that plate has got to have at least .030" movement up and down, as the only things locating it are the screws.

He already told me he drained the oil, whatever was left of it, and black death+ metal chunks came out.

Depends on the goal, does it need to be high temp? Is it for exterior stuff?

^Already been measured... Ya it was just out for a rebuild less than 10k miles ago so who knows what the previous person "polished" off the crank etc. Most of the numbers matched but some did not.

Anybody have any tips for good reputable machine shops in or around Phoenix Az? Basically what i am looking for is a shop that can get surface finishes down to 30 RA for the block and head. Cant seem to find any information about this, and this forum doesn't seem active at all so who knows if i...

The only thing i would be worried about with doing kerosene is ruining the valve seals, but you should change those anyways

Next time you are wondering something like this, just look up the part on any parts store website for both models, and if its the same part number for both, then there is your answer

How much is considered safe to remove off the head/block before either is considered junk? I see this question often and it always seems to be unanswered. Also, why did HKS make a 1.2mm head gasket/ in what case should it be used?

Chances of rod knock are still high, the damage to your bearings is already done. If you have a cracked head it goes in the trash

From what i have heard the w58 can handle a decent amount of power as long as you arent beating on it aka launches and dumping the clutch.

Check your oil level, make sure its full and doesn't have any metal in it. Did you notice any change in oil pressure? Check to make sure the screw holding the crankshaft pulley on is tight and torqued to spec. Also, don't drive the car around with it knocking until you know what it is!

It seals fine? Is this to get the compression ratio back? Does the block surface have to be a certain smoothness?

well... the 1jz.... lol just kidding

One thing you could do to avoid this again is start measuring your shit. If you dont have the tools to do it yourself have your machine shop blueprint everything and give YOU the numbers, then you figure out what you need to do. Just because you can turn the crank, or it feels right doesnt mean...

Do they warrenty their work? STD size bearings seem to be about .001" thinner than toyotas largest offered bearing... And when clearances are already supposed to be in the .001"-.002" range, it opens up your clearances. Chances are he threw STD bearings in there with little to no work, or did it...
