starting to tear apart the engine today to do a heat gasket. i have read IHateHacks thread about 3 times. i will probably be back today with some questions on what to do. maybe pics as well to just show the progress. i hope everything goes as good as it can!

(but it never seems to be that way with the supra)

I'm sure you will find plenty of opinions here to sift through.
Good Luck.

eBay Motors: 87-92 3.0L Toyota Supra Turbo 7MGTE 24V Head Gasket Set (item 370062154567 end time Jun-29-08 16:45:13 PDT)

found this on ebay and i am not sure about it. i dont want to do a mhg because i just cant afford it. im not looking for very much power upgrades in the future, maybe exhaust and intake stuff but does this set of gaskets look alright?

also forgot to ask which was better: arp studs or bolts?

Don’t waste your time or money; go for a Toyota Head gasket and ARP studs. I wouldn’t even conceder using the other gaskets in that set. Can you imaging using the valve stem oil seals and then finding out that there’s clouds of smoke pouring out of the exhaust every time you start her up. Doing a BHG isn't going to be cheap, but buying good quality products minimises the risk of it happening again. There's plenty of negative feed back on other forums where guys have used cheap ebay gaskets, one described them as made from papier-m?ch?. (That’s newspaper mashed into a pulp with water. Probably what Toyota made the head from no doubt?

I agree with bill here.

The least you should do is a toyota oem replacement gasket and still use ARP studs.

If you can't afford to do this right for as close to a permanent fix as possible...., I wonder how you intend to keep it on the road at all.

Because cutting corners is nothing more than a band aid and a cheap off brand of at that.

Sorry.

it looks terrible. the gasket is completely gone. im very surprised it lasted as long as it did. it came apart when i took the head off. i found where it blew though. cylinders 3 and 4. ill try to get some pics of the progression of the tear down and then some of how bad it is. anyone know of a place that machines and checks everything on the head in or around Anoka Minnesota?
