Don’t waste your time or money; go for a Toyota Head gasket and ARP studs. I wouldn’t even conceder using the other gaskets in that set. Can you imaging using the valve stem oil seals and then finding out that there’s clouds of smoke pouring out of the exhaust every time you start her up. Doing a BHG isn't going to be cheap, but buying good quality products minimises the risk of it happening again. There's plenty of negative feed back on other forums where guys have used cheap ebay gaskets, one described them as made from papier-m?ch?. (That’s newspaper mashed into a pulp with water. Probably what Toyota made the head from no doubt?
