I'd say so. seeing as heads are coming off our 7m's more then you heard your bov in your life time. Definitly have the next two days off and here in florida the weather should be great (knock on wood. damn rain) and a "real" stright edge will be purched long with a lapping tool due to i just picked up another mklll shell with an r154 (wifes piiiiissssed). before i even jack the hood struts from it first things first and i will be talking to you tomarrow about how F@%KED i am because my block is a banana knowing my luck.
and when i take my turbo cams out my old head ill besure to use your wonderful link and make sure there even turbo cams for one thing. lol. Thanks again sir and good luck with the never ending battle between your girl and her dad lol.

And make sure you don't forget to chase the threads in the block with a tap!!!! And as mentioned before, the RTV at the lower timing plate/block union!!!
When you say "chase the treads" do you mean to run a tap where the bolt would normally go before installation? And why is this? Also, is RTV a gasket making type substance? I'm a self-taught shade tree kind of guy and I'm planning on tackling a head gasket (I think) issue with a Supra I inherited. I'm a pretty handy dude but I've never done a job that big before. Are there any more tips you might have for me? Thanks a Bunch, Bob Last edited by cajuncharger; 03-02-2010 at 07:27 PM. Reason: wording |

Yes and Yes.... yes to the tap and yes RTV = Room temperature vulcanizing... generally the acronym is used in reference to silicone gasket compound, aka FIPG (Form In Place Gasket).

Follow the TSRM (link posted above) EXACTLY (except for the head bolt torque spec) and research the project here on the forum... a few people have been through this very recently and there's a lot of good and important material covered in their threads.

Okay, that'll be enough for today. I'm going to prune this thread and close it.
