Also if anyone knows anything or has changed the head gasket before is there anything i should know or watch out for when changing it?

Thanks Brad
Why do you think the "head is blown"? The Mkiv never had the head gasket problems that the MKIII did, so I have to call into question your diagnosis of the issue, unless (for example) a large shot of nitrous was installed in this car?

Yes, the head gasket for the 2jz-gte will work on an n/a engine.

Get the TSRM for doing any work like this on an Mkiv engine...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
