im most def. gonna go with a toyota gasket. i pulled the head off the motor in my garage, it was bored .50 over
i knew it had a rebuild 20k ago, i still cannot believe my bro in laws parents spent 3000 rebuilding a motor in a truck worth $100 bux lol!!!
the motor turns over so nice, the cylinders are smooth , no ridge at the top, just alot of carbon, and he did not take care of it at all. the cooling system had so much crap inside. the passages were so fouled up where they meet the gaskets.
so im gonna take the head to get started tomorrow, im gonna pull the t-chain and do that again and basicaly pull everything but the pistons. my Q is why were some of the head bolts covered with oil and they smelled chard bad!
also what is the best method for getting the gunk out of the water passages?
or should i pull the crank , and pistons , tank the block , hone and reassemble?
20K miles since rebuild?? i wouldnt mess with the block unless the pistons are flopping around in the cylinders
