supraluver4life · 12-10-2009, 08:31 PM

so my head gasket is in excellent condition (engine only has 51,000 mi) and i was wondering if i could just go in and tighten the head bolts down to 75ft/lbs instead of leaving at 58ft/lbs or whatever toyota had it at stock. i want to know if this is ok to do because if it is ill do that and not have to worry about getting a new hg before im actually wanting to rebuild it.

any help is fantastic
