Luckily I've already got one and I will definitely be needing it soon.

I've torqued everything I needed to already, exhaust manifold to 29ft lbs but i think i should have gone to 30 or 31 but everyone said to stick with oem spec.
Finally discovered what size head gasket I need. I need one with a thickness of at least 2.4mm. Started a parts thread to help fund the rest of the project. I've got close to 50 items for sale so feel free to check it out everyone before the goodies are gone!

Received my Holy Grail in the mail today! Need to take my block back to the machine shop and have them match the timing cover and check the RA finish.

Took my head in to get it resurfaced again today, get a better surface on it and cleaner RA finish for my metal MHG. Still got to run this block out there and have them match the timing cover to the head.

Yeah, as soon as I pick up the head from the machine shop I'll post new pics of it. Getting close...

Been a while since this guy got updated. Finally got the front timing cover back from the machine shop. Picked up an 88 Supra since the last update as well. So that makes three now... I got a lot done today. Hit up Jalopy Jungle with a friend today, picked up a missing visor for my 88. Also picked up a new spoiler, it's white, but I'm repainting it and it looks great on the Supra. I'll post pics when I'm done with it.
Also got my timing cover gasket in today and put on the rear timing cover.
The head went from this:
To this:
Then I went and sat her on top of the block... I've still got to go buy a MHG. Found one for $180...
After I get the spoiler finished and on the 88, my next plans are mostly cosmetic
I've got new Diamond plate floor mats for it that I need to put in. I also want to tint the windows, tint the taillights, and throw some nice black rims on it that I found online.

Yeah, got to get a MHG because the head and block were machined, and they only have MHG in the size I need. That's gonna set me back close to $200, lol. I already got my ARP head studs though from another member on here.

Very nice I wonder how much my stock head gasket can handle with those arp studs like boost and hp wise
I've heard that as long as they are torqued correctly that they can handle quite a bit.
