Most of that 1000$ is in labor. If you can do it yourself, it is more like 500$ or so (150$ HG, 200$ for head work, 100 or so for bolts) I think everybody here said it just fine. If the head ain't broke, don't worry about it. Save up and buy the parts as you can. That way, when it blows, you will be prepared. I don't think that new bolts will get you that much extra time. Since the engine already has 110K + miles on it what will new head bolts get you? 25-50K??? Save up, get some ARP bolts and a quality head gasket. Continue saving and when it blows look at what mods you can afford. Run it till it dies, but don't abuse it. You should get at least a couple of years if not more before she blows. Save your pennies and maybe you can afford a 1JZ when she does. Heck, I just got my running today, so you are ahead of me!!!!


Oh, I forgot to add, I have ABS and mine is an 87.

thanks thats a good post. Only reason Id consider trying new ARP bolts is because this engine only has 102k, but maybe making it to 200k even then would be wishful thinking. And I found out it does have ABS, would have been pissed if it didnt.
