Right, my plans are nothing to crazy for this car since I am looking at mk4's to ADD to the garage :). But If people thought it was worth it to pull it right now and have the block and head done, I thought I would just do it. Waiting to hear what Mr. Grumpy has to say about it:naughty:

Yes you can feel it, however your nail does not get caught on them.

Better pictures are coming with photobucket. I just tried that attachment tool and don't like it too much.

Stock? I really don't know, as far as I know I bought the car with 80k miles, head gasket replaced, bottom end never touched.

Guys, Thanks for all the responses, it seems cars with my symptoms were generally in the very early stages of blowing the Head Gasket. I did decide to pull the head after testing everything else in the cooling system. After verifying the correct operation of all components it was clear the...

My 92 had the same dipstick as 92nsx, so if your 92 does not have that style, I think it was changed by a previous owner. I also happen to think the 91/92 style is easy to read.

then its the same and I will shut up. IJ - I never knew that any engine/block had coolant going between the bores in the block and always thought it was block material between the bores. Read up on it though and it appears most engines do have coolant between the cylinders and a siamese...

Right, so the gasket has small holes for flow control, that still does not take away from the fact that having a uniform coolant jacket around the cylinder is more desirable, and definitely appears to be what the 2jz is closer to having than the 7m. Water is a much better heat sink then cast...

No, I never said that...Maybe you do not understand why having the water jacket uniform around the piston is desirable. Regardless of flow through the narrow gasket openings having a uniform thickness of material with a uniform water jacket is more desirable as it helps eliminate hot spots in...

for whatever reason they did this on the 7m, however on the 2jz, all of the ports are open and symetrical as you would expect. I am thinking the 2jz way is better and more desirable. Toyota learned.

yes, I can confirm that the older turbos and N/A's had the larger cap size and the later model turbos have a smaller cap size. As for the exact year of the change I would guess 89 but it may not be until 91/92 that it was changed. I ordered a cap for an 88 turbo since my 92 cap did not fit...

Yep I did purchase a radiator and I went with the Mishimoto. I have it all installed and it fits just like the others mentioned, however if you have a 91/92 radiator the factory cap does not fit. I am not sure when they changed cap size but the early models and NA's have a larger cap than the...

Hi everybody, Well it appears to me that it is now my turn to replace the 7mgte head gasket in my car. However the car acts pretty oddly so I figured I would throw this thread up just in case anybody had some ideas regarding it. First off, I take my car out onto road racing tracks and this is...

Just letting everyone know I will be out at BlackHawk Farms this Saturday for the HPDE. If you are out there you should stop by.

You do realize that if you use e-fans that the factory fan shroud is pointless right? Hence you not having the factory shroud has no effect on your fans performance... Now for anyone using the factory engine driven fan, the fan shroud is a very good idea if they want the car to cool well when...

If I were a betting man I would say those are fatigue failures. Also if I were a betting man I would guess that your spring is not tight in the coil seat at full droop (you should use a helper spring if this is the case or just raise your car up some) which when the suspension droops can cause...

stock is Aisin so if you can find the Aisin parts somewhere I would recommend going with them.

i believe the jumper goes from fp to b+ terminals in the diagnostics port.

waiting for reply on my PM, let me know
