    Titan Head GAsket

    Yeah the titan Head gasket I have had the slightly extended rivet, but I removed it just to appease my mind anyway... :icon_bigg I torqued it to the specifications on the paper included with the box, and I used their moly lube. They suggested 80ft lbs when using the ARP moly lube, should I have...

    Sweet! and yeah I go to school here so it sounds pretty sweet, I'm not that familiar with those canyons and it would be pretty sweet to check em out... LOL might be a lil hard for me to keep up because at this point I am bone stock except for the rebuild/headgasket

    Titan Head GAsket

    Ahh thank you, that was the reassurance I needed. I remember to remove the rivet, and all appears to be well, the head sits flush with no problems(and yes I had the front plate machined with the block) both the head and the block are lower than 23 RA, I tried to make everything in spec, and I...

    Titan Head GAsket

    OK Guys, I am sorry but I have found this information before, but cant locate it now. My Titan Headgasket covers a large portion of my water passages on one side, it has two holes cut into it just like the other side, but there should only be one hole and it shouldn't be covered up.; I have...

    measuring valve clearance

    Oh ok, thanks... That is what I expected but i wasn't entirely sure. If they need adjustment, which I am sure they will need, is the best/only place to purchase them at a Toyota Dealer?

    measuring valve clearance

    Hello, I am wondering how to measure the valve clearance. I searched, and found where it was in the TSRM, http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=8 but I do not know what to measure this clearance against. The TSRM is a little vague because it simply states measure the...

    Titan headgasket for my rebuild?

    Hey guys, I am in the process of rebuilding(refreshing) my motor right now, and am going through the process of having my head and block properly surfaced to meet metal head gasket standards. My question is, how are the titan metal head gaskets in comparison to the HKS or the cometic? I have...

    good gaskets?

    Thanks this sounds like the one I will be buying then.... with all those extras that may be helpful seems like he has a hard bargain to beat if all of the parts are as quality as you say. I may end up purchasing some other stuff from him as well... Thanks all for the other recommendations as well

    Damn thats good to know... so you got the full gasket set from him and everything worked correctly other than the throttle body gasket? Does this include everything needed for when I do my metal head gasket? Or should I call him and find out?

    good gaskets?

    I heard that Ishino gaskets are the same people that make the OEM gasket set. At least this is what one retailer is claiming. They also claim that it is a direct fit (as they all do) but I was wondering if this was a credible statement or not. If they truly are the makers of the OEM set than...

    good gaskets?

    Oh... so what are the issues? is it poor sealing? or do they just not fit right? haha damn I was hoping I wouldnt have to do that. I dont have the money to be able to buy OEM gaskets and then sell the head gasket. haha seems like more trouble than necessary... But I guess thats why people like...
