OK, I need to get head bolts, new, not ARP bc no place in Houston has them. I just need head bolts that will last me iono, 1000 miles and Ill get ARPs.

I also need to know if I can get a tool anywhere to replace my valves, I took out the exhaust side and now they need to be put back in, I also lost ONE valve lock, where can I get that?

Thanks for all the help guys, Im hoping to have it back on the road by sunday, I just picked up a hoist, stand and torque wrench for about $250. Northern Tools rocks.

what you can do is go to a local speed shop and find some bolts that are the same length, pitch, and size as the stock ones? um or go find some high grade bolts from a local store that does bolts?

i don't know man. rushing a job like that usually leads to problems.

y not wait until you get what u need and put it together?

Guys please, I understand all of that but I just need help with what I asked. Id rather not get any lectures. I need to get it done this weekend, if the engine blows again, fuck it it blows, I dont care, but for reasons I wont get into I need to do this NOW.

What happened to the stock bolts you took out when you took it apart? I would re-use those for the time being. Since we are already deep into friday night, I would say getting something overnighted isnt gonna get you done before Tuesday at the earliest. Try a toyota dealership? junkyard for stockers? thats about all I can offer.

Problem is my stockers look like halfway down the thread is missing... not sure if I can or not, MAYBE. Turns out I have this weekend and next now, so more time and about $400 more dollars to spend, I SHOULD be ok. I just hope I can get it all done in time, I need my car back asap.

Im going cheap and bandaiding this motor so itll run a while longer than Ill get my 1jz or rebuild my GTE over that time period, I should be ok.

If you are in a rush, I would definitly reuse the stock bolts. Just clean them up and go. If that won't work, go to Advance Auto Parts online store, partsamerica.com. They have every stock engine part I've ever needed, and get them rushed.
