supra head gasket questions+ rebuild

Don't remove the cam shafts. Or the valve covers.

DO, remove the air intake and plenums.
Remove the fuel injection parts. Just don't crack into the head.

BE careful where you and how you sit it. Keep the place clean and flat.
DON't drop it.

Your machinist will want the head and cams and all of that.

You should probably prepare for a valve job. Again your machinist will let you know.

You want to remember how much he shaved from the head also so you can use that number to figure your mhg thickness.

Now..., Start checking all of your antique stock hoses. Especially the ones for the coolant system. Get rid of all of those ancient stock hose clamps.
Get worm clamps and wratchet those bitches down after replacing the hose.

You may as well replace your starter while you are here. Never again will it be so darn easy.

Port and Polish that head. You"ll be thanking you later for doing so.

Break into the kids college funds and spare no expense.
