I used ARP studs.
Torqued them to 85lbs in 5 passes.

HKS stopper 2.mm mhg.

The mhg alone was 350$

i used all o.e. parts and torqued to about 65ft/lbs and this isnt the first head gasket ive done but it is the first toyota headgasket that ive done. im not too worried about, getting the new motor next week or the week after depending on shipping. after i put the new motor in im selling if anyone is in washington and interested let me know.

keep in mind that they came up with those specs 20 years ago and they found out it was way too low a couple thousand miles later

I hope you made the right choice.
Good Luck.
