im running short on funds so im going to be using a stock headgasket. but im probably going to be getting arp studs so it doesnt happen again

I used a felpro hg and used the copper spray made by Permatex, Cre recommended. It is said to keep the gasket from drying out and help it seal better. It shold be sold about every auto part store. Also make sure to be very carful when pulling things apart. Vsv's are easy to break and hard to replace.

yeah im using felpro also. and i will definitely look into buying that stuff. if it works i will definitely buy it. and i have one of my friends helping me take it apart and put it back together so im going to be very easy that i dont mess anythign up because low funds suck so yeah. im going to be super careful so i dont break anything.

I have a set up of ARP Head bolts for sale they were in my Supras engine when I bought it but I had put ARP Head Studs in my Cressida engine. So I kept the studs from the Cressida to put in my Supra engine. If you want them I'm asking $65 shipped for them.

And you're not making no 300 horse at the wheels with the minor mods you have. Especially if you don't even have a full 3" turbo back exhaust yet.

The only way you'll put down over 300 hp to the wheels is if you do the lex afm 550cc mod. With the mods you're doing you'll be close to 280 hp at the wheels. This is basically what I'm doing right now.

Why buy used bolts when a new set is around a $110? The last thing you want to do is another head gasket after the one you just did.

They're ARP Head Bolts. They're reusable and they only have about 1000 miles on them. And if you didn't see the guy is on a budget.

i have to make sure i can trust you before i buy them. i would like to have new ones but if i can get good ones for 65 that are in excellent condition then why not save some money but im just not going to get scamed out of money not saying i dont trust you but when your short on money you have to be careful.
