New head bought locally. Mods feel free to close the thread. Thanks to everyone for your help.

Anybody got a 7MGTE head for sale locally? I've been told that re-using mine is a bad idea due to corrosion on the water jackets. I know some of you guys have piles of parts. Wanna make some quick cash? EDIT: I just need the head. No cams, mani, etc.

Block looks fine. A nice decking is all it needs to make it road worthy. I can post some more pics if it helps.

This is pretty much my main concern. The radiator itself seems to not be touching anything, but I could be wrong. I'm assuming the head gasket had been blown for a while before I got the car since the vehicle was not running in great shape when my friend sold it to me. I got it for a song so i'm...

Backstory.... BHG Got head off Noticed some corrosion on the exhaust side water jackets Took pics Just wondering if I should make do with this head or search out a new one based on these pics. All the exhaust side waterjackets look similiar. EDIT: The block is in good condition. No such...

Don't have your number. Was that you that called earlier? I went down and got some allen head sockets and got the head off.

Just took mine off and it's not cracked.

Finally got everything but the head off and went to loosen those bolts. What? Why is this socket spinning? It's the same size as my ARP bolts. *gets out flashlight and looks closer* FFFFFFFUUUUUUUU who's great idea was this? It's too late to go to Autozone or harbor freight.

I'll probably be gone. I have to go back on the road on Friday. Didn't get the head off last night, but I worked on it til it got dark. I was having some issues with hard to reach bolts namely on the turbo mani. Just need to take off the turbo and the water pump and I can pull the head. I'm...

Still working on it. I'm taking my time since I don't feel like buying any more hoses than I have to. The downpipe was a pain in the butt to get off, but after spending $40 at harbor freight for an armload of tools I finally got it off. Probably have the head off tonight and will be putting it...

If anybody is bored and wants to hang hit me up at 209 606 8449. Text is fastest. I'm tearing off the head right now.

When's the meet? I still gotta smog and register the car after I fix HG.....

Finally home! Gonna fix that head gasket this week.

Double post. Just signed up to the site. Same name and avatar.

Certainly will be from now on. Although, I feel better getting some molded hoses over straight rubber tubing for the heater core. Belts are another story though.

I got all my parts finally, but i'm still procrastinating. I don't want to pull the head today. BLEH

Yeah those Miata guys are pretty nice. I've had a few of them hit me up to go have a drink and then get a back rub. I haven't called them back yet.

Out on the road, mostly. I haven't had car I could legally drive on the street for the last few weeks so I've been sitting at home if not working. The 7 failed smog twice and I was rolling around with expired tags for a few days. I just got a Bonez hi-flo and am gonna get that welded on...

I think at this point I just need heater hoses and the accessory belts which i'll probably order from the dealership. I'm not gonna slap any used ones back on the car. I'll hit you up if something comes up though.

Got most of my parts in the mail. Head gasket kit, water pump, timing belt component kit, ARP head bolts, and picked up some extra tools and a torque wrench. I still need to get all new accessory belts and some heater hoses since mine are FUBAR. The a/c was going out in the rig so i'm home for...
