Newbie help
 

I just bought my car and i was told it had a BHG (7MGE). I took it in to the shop and they said the engine was toast. So today i bought a used jdm motor and im gonna have it put in. my question is, can you re torque the head on a used motor without changing they head gasket.

Thanks in advance.

You can always retourqe anything but it may be for mo reason if there is already and issue with the Gasket. Good luck on the swap....did you go turbo?

I just spoke with a Toyota tech today and he said
if I didn't just change the gasket to just leave it alone. And that I can create
more of a issue messing with a old gasket. it's n/a for now but
I'm gonna rebuild my old engine an possible add a single aftermarket turbo kit.
thanks for the response. I can't wait to drive my car!

Good luck on the project. you should try and get a turbo motor instead. if there is still time to change your order

7mge plus turbo equals trouble


get a 7mgte and work with that
