Have you tried horsepowerfreaks.com ???

Get Dave at ext 103. He knows his stuff man and get's your parts to you in days.

Supra_87_mk3 · 04-10-2007, 04:35 PM

thank you i'll try tonight after work.

Supra_87_mk3 · 04-12-2007, 05:01 PM

ok so i'm a member on HPF.com now but i still cant find a oversized head gasket..i didn't call yet but is there anywhere else i can look?

supramacist · 04-12-2007, 05:05 PM

If hpf can't get one you may try there brother company.., titan motor sports.
I'll be surprised if dave can't find you one.

You may have to go with less of a head gasket so you can trim it with a razor. But that won't do you any good. Call them man. Hell I'll call him real quick.

supramacist · 04-12-2007, 05:11 PM

Alright he must be busy. Call them and keep calling until he picks up. This guy has gone out of his way for me on some of the parts I have ordered. That forum over there is really slow. I think there are only a handfull of guys using it wich is probably why I come off as such a cowboy. If dave doesn't have it he will find it.

supramacist · 04-12-2007, 06:03 PM

Yo...., I spoke to Dave and he says no problem. If he doesn't have your mhg in stock he'll track it down even with you being .50 over. He said he had them in stock from 84 to 86 I think he said.
