    Head Gasket Help

    If using a OEM head gasket, clean the block as best you can with a razor or something of that nature. If possible check the deck with a machinist straight edge, other than that, this will be sufficient for a OEM gasket to seal on the block surface. Have that cylinder head inspected by a machinist.

Thats when I switched to 10W-30 and...

    JZA70 return to the road and onwards to reliable performance

    I don't mind getting it for you, I would need money in advance though. So long as you can trust me. I also recommend a seal protector/installer so you don't damage the shaft seal upon install.
