As the topic states, that is how much i was quoted from castle hill toyota.
Now on ebay there are complete head rebuild kits floating around for US$100 or so. Should i go with the rebuild kit (all seals, HG, VSS) or is there another alternative?

ACL sell the seals you need. Got quoted 28 dollars for a pack of 16. GO to the website
http://www.acl.com.au/
look for preferred stockists. Blacktown auto spares was where i got the quote from..but TLC in mona vale were about the same $29... and that was retail!

The PA 425 I think they were do a whole heap of engines.
7M
4AGE/FE etc
Download the catalogue it is really good. But yeah they may not do all. But if Black Supra has a 7MGE or 7MGTE they should be the same

2JZGE
Toyota said that the intake seals change on the 1996+ engines. Fair enough, should be all VVT-i. Apparently my head is from a 96 supra though, id like to think its a 95 though.
The later model intake seals are even more expensive and have to come from japan through toyota!
