	|  5mgte conversion.. |  Tue, 11 May 2004 18:36   |  |  |  
	| hey guys 
 considering boosting the 5mge.  few questions about BHG's
 i know 7m's are notorious...5m's not as much but still there. is it bad design in the head or the block.  i was wondering if you could use the 7m head on the 5m block or would it even be worth all the trouble???
 
 would a metal gasket cure my problem if i used a 7mgte?
 
 thanx

 Personally I don't think it's a very good idea, especially considering how cheap complete 7M-GTE's are these days, but it seems to be pretty popular with the Yanks.

	| whats a 7m-gte worth these days? 
 if you got a 7m-gte all you'd need to do is retorque the head to an adequate spec(MHG wouldnt hurt though)
