4AGE blown head gasket questions... Mon, 09 September 2002 03:14 Go to previous message
I woke up sunday morning with a hangover, only to discover my missing coolant had made friends with my oil Sad
I'm getting the toyota workshop manual for the how-to (AE82 twincam16)
I intend to fix this myself, but I've got a few questions..
- Should I use genuine toyota gaskets? (~$90)
- Should I replace head studs? (daily driver, not a track warrior)
- What is a possible cause of this HG failure, given that the engine is still perfectly drivable with no noticable loss of compression?
- Am I likely to find a warped head?
- Is the head likely to be corroded, and need welding and straightening?
- If so, am I better off getting a s/h head from the wreckers than repairing this one?

Cheers..
