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
