 Gaskets and clutches

Guys don't shoot me, I'm sure you've been asked before but I'm still trolling and haven't found the answers yet.
1. Where can you get head gaskets and top end kits for the 20 valve. I wish to pull down the head but not sure if you can get gaskets in Aus easily enough. id come across a site with parrt numbers but not sure what you can get at local Toyota. Are most of the bottom end gaskets/seals etc common to aussie 4AGE.
2. I have a silvertop 20 valve manual which is being converted to RWD. Is the flywheel/clutch combo from the FWD compatible. If not which is the best combo to use. My box is out of an Aussie Corolla.
3. Is there a web site with general engine data like cam/crank timing, torque settings, general engine wiring identification etc. You know like workshop manul info. I haven't found anywhere with any manuals to download so far but have limited computer time to troll.

Some Toyota dealerships will order parts directly from Toyota Japan if you provide a part number, and some will also find the part number if they have the infomation available. You can also order gasket sets from "private" people here on Toymods, I know "Bill Sherwood" and "Mr Revhead" have mentioned them, and availability.
Yes, your flywheel and clutch will work perfectly well with your Aussie Spec T50 gearbox. Don't forget to add the spigot bearing as FWD motors don't have these as standard.
I've never found a totally helpful website, it's usually a combination from all over the web - if you find the info in one place, let us all know, or make the page yourself for us all to use and rejoice in your greatly appreciated hard work?!!!

As for clutches, I'm using a $150 PBR RPM clutch kit, and it seems to put up with the abuse a lot better than others I've tried at 3 times the price. It should be fine for the 20valve, just I wouldn't use it on a boosted engine.
