South jersey help

[92Turbo]

Hey Im lookin for a shop in south jersey to do a head gasket job for me. I dont have a BHG, infact mine only has 20k on it, but I wanna go with arp's at 72. I try to do most of the stuff on this car myself but I dont feel up to this on my own. If anyone here is experienced and would like to go thru it with me I will pay$. ***Im editing this post because Im doing a 5 spd swap soon and I would like to have an experienced supra person there for help. If anyone is interrested please let me know. I will make it worth your time.***


Thanks,
Steve

Do i need to machine the head if the gasket is not blown? I had the motor rebuilt abbout 20k ago and I just wanna up the torque before I turn the boost up.

hmmm, i'd make sure the head and block's surface are OK, i think u should be fine tho. would only be able to tell if u take the head off.

i've done it before as have many others it's fairly easy . just clear a path to the head nuts and hit with the torque wrench.
you want to do them in a criss-cross pattern
Exhaust 12 8 4 2 5 9 13
Intake 14 10 6 1 3 7 11
there's 14 bolts start in the middle @ # 1
you can find more details on my website
