Valve Clearance
I am in the process of replacing a BHG on a 1988 non-turbo. I would like to know how much can be skimmed off the head before needing a thicker gasket than a stock Toyota gasket.
I would love to have an HSK or similar gasket but there is one spot on the block where the ring around cylinder has pressed an indentation which I believe is too deep and would require the block to be shaved. Oddly enough this wasn't where the gasket was leaking. The head required .015 inch to clean up. The car has 220,000 miles on it. Please help I miss my SUPRA. PS:The postings and links have been very helpfull. Keep up the good work. |
