Re: Replacing the 7M-GTE Head Gasket

Thanks for the info...
The price from BD4s of $750 didn't even include installation, that was just for the gasket! I called Dominator yesterday for a copper gasket and the price seems reasonable... the block and the head needs to be machined apparently to put an O-Ring groove in it? this means i'm going to need to take the entire engine out and take it to them to get done
am i correct in assuming that?
if it comes to that, i'd prefer to put a standard Toyota OEM gasket in the car and just have the head machined then torque the head bolts to 72 pound (only had the car on the rd for a month before the gasket went)... no engine removal involved and hopefully this won't happen again
