Topic: LCE Head Gasket Kits

Anyone have any experience with the LC Engineering head gasket kits?

I know the OEM Toyota head gasket is probably the best, but this kit has all the other gaskets I need. Does Toyota make a similar kit?

Also, how much are people paying for head work? At the least I need to get the seats, guides, and seals redone.

LC will send you Felpro

i think Bunn's charged me $160  for re working my first head,  then  the last one that i'm running now  was just resurfaced  and  some mild porting for  like $50

Felpro is BAD  felpro is EVIL

felpro is HG death waiting to happen

Thanks guys for confirming that the LCE head gasket is a FelPro. I was afraid it was.

I'm going to give the local dealership a call and see if they still honor the TTORA discount that they said they'd give.  that they can get the kit.

Thanks for the Bunn's recommendation, but I can't get there during their business hours. I'll find a good shop up here in Little Rock that's good with Toyota engines, and pester them. 

Any idea where I can get a Rock gasket online?

Was that for an entire engine gasket kit? From Bunn's? Hmm...

   Rock gaskets rock

btw  i have a good  22R block, its yours  if you wanna build a 20/22 hybrid,  just come get it,  or i can get it over to bunns for ya

That block is temping, but that'll open up a whole other can of worms. My lower end is still good. I just want my compression back. 

Found the Rock website: rockprod.com. Looks like FGS9002 is the engine gasket kit for a 20R. HGS902 is the head gasket kit.

[79coyotefrg]

well,  heres the good part,  you would use  YOUR bottom end,  in fact everything from your motor except the block and the pistons/rings  which is what you need to replace to fix your compression


  my brain is yours to pick,  youve helped me so much, its the least i can do
