That is a huge relief lol, what about my question on the timing, if I mark everything and realign it I should fine right even if I replace the belt?

Yea I am thinking about sticking with the 7M for now since I know it is well maintained and only has 81,000 miles on it, so it would be like wasting a perfectly good engine. I do have the time and patience to do it and I am starting to lean toward doing myself and saving a lot of money and also...

I would do it myself but I don't have the knowledge to do something like that even though from what I have read up in the TSRM it doesn't seem like something out of my ability.

I am just asking and letting y'all know what I found, this is all brainstorming anyway since getting my head gasket replaced at the shop I know would cost so much.

but doesn't the 1J have better mpg and turbo response? I've read that extra half a liter displacement doesn't make much of a difference.

Why would you guys suggest a 2j over a 1j?

Well my highly suggests slightly machining the head since it is a 21 year old motor and to ensure solid contact, the machining is why it is so steep but honestly I just want to replace the gasket and get ARP studs so I can actually drive the car.

I knew I saw that before but couldn't remember which section. Thank you guys very much.

Lol that was quick. Anything I should know about doing this swap? From what I read on here you just need a JZ flywheel and bell housing for it to bolt up to the R154 transmission correct?

I know this topic has been beaten to death but after spending a day searching I have come up with a few reasons why a 1jz would be better but it all depends on what the person wants and for me a 1jz would suit me well. First off, can anyone recommend some places to buy a 1jzgte motor that is...

Damn good buy man I got my 91 white mk3 turbo with 80,000 miles too but your paint is much better shape than mine.

I was looking into this and I plan on picking up a Viper 5701 alarm with remote start/kill also if the alarm is armed you cannot start the motor no matter what you do unless you somehow bypass the alarm. Also if someone does manage to start driving off in your car when you do the remote start...

Very nice

I can't wait to get a job so I can start fixing mine up as well but first thing I need to do is change the head gasket.

I am seriously jealous of your leather seats I wish I had them in my 91 MK3. Very clean MK3 man.

Well that company has the same kit on their website they also use ebay to sell it. Also a friend of mine said his friend bought that kit and said it was great for his MK3. Also do the cams block the head bolts?

Yea my guy is very thorough and meticulous

Well I won't drive it very much if at all until I get the gasket and other seals replaced, so I should get that kit and then buy an OEM head gasket?

It can be warped if it's not overheating?

It's probably a good idea to get a head job done after 21 years huh?
