If they haven't backed out and the gasket hasn't disintegrated then you may have a problem. When the studs pull free (which, sadly, isn't too uncommon) it's the threads in the head which go... not the studs. It'd be great if it were simply a matter of replacing the studs as with the head you have to drill and install helicoils.

WOOOT i should get most of my parts tomorrow from toyota oh and the gasket was pretty decenigrated/melted on the side that was really loose |
I wouldn't count on the stud where the threads pulled out holding... You're best off helicoiling it while you've got things apart... helicoiling with the head already install sucks though. Which stud? Rear, center or front area? You can try just installing it and holing for the best, but don't be surprised if it fails.
Disintegrated gaskets cause a fair number of people to believe that the threads have given up when it's just that there's no longer any pressure against the nut when they remove them... that's the only reason I asked. |

When I'm re torquing the head bolts is there a coolant drane plug I need to pull out on the block to drane the water jackets? And also I only had trouble getting to one stud but if I have to turn the cams how do I do it |

Pull the EFI fuse (which you should have already done, remove the fan, put a breaker bar with socket on the bolt for the harmonic balancer (the main pulley) and turn.... I'm assuming you haven't pulled the timing belt. |

I was saying that's how you do it if the timing belt is still installed... pull the EFI fuse and then rotate the crank manually. It's cake... no reason not to do it.
ALWAYS pull the EFI fuse (if not the positive battery cable) when you work on the engine! |

So I need a 10mill hex socket and probably hex wrench, a torque wrench, and a brakerbar Edit: I just got a call from power fab and my turbo is in!!!! Ill be over to pick it up tonight hopefully and I believe that toyota is suposed to have my parts als : ) |
I turn my crank with a 3/8" drive ratchet and a deep well 19mm socket. As long as the car isn't in gear, the engine is fairly easy to turn over this way. And it can be done with the fan installed, but it is quite a bit easier with it off.
