Also, what else needs to be removed to get the head off? I know i need to get the alternator out of the way and the exhaust manifold, But any other odd pipes and stuff i wont be able to see?

Heater hose in the back of the head. And dont be an idiot like me and forget about the fuel rail. I spent almost 2 hours trying to figure out why the head wouldnt come off. I just forgot to unbolt the fuel regulators on the rail.

Well, im selling out. Giving my car to a friends dad who is a mechanic, and hes going to charge me to finish it. Someone stole all my fuckin tools. All i have is a few sockets (for stuff other than a supra), one extension, one ratchet, an adjustable wrench, a 10 and 12mm socket, a hammer, and thats it. They took a whole set of long and short metric sockets, my set of ratcheting wrenches, 2 crafstman ratchets (3/8s and 1/2 drive), a plier set, my sawzall, and whatever else i dont even remember i had or is gone, thats just the stuff I know about. Theres at least 300$ in tools missing out of my car. Fuckin great!!

Well, at least the car didn't blow up like it might have in other foreign countries! I am sure nothing gets stolen in any other country....................right..............

You might as well have the deck resurfaced. If it goes back turbo and you want to use a metal head gasket, it does pay to have that done, but it means pulling the block out too. There are ways to do that yourself, but a lot of time and very hard to get perfectly flat all the way from end to end. I hear the stock Toyota head gasket from the dealer works very well though too. Just make sure to torque it to ARP specs and you really should not have any more problems, unless you really go crazy with boost and/or nitrous.

Keep us up to date!
