Hey guys,
I need some help regarding a BHG job. I'm thinking whether I should use a Toyota gasket, or go all out for the metal. Obviously the factor here is price... So, can you recommend a good machinist in the twin cities area and suburbs, and what cost I'm looking at to machine the head? Also, apart from a MHG which is more expensive, any other hidden cost if I select a MHG?
Thanks.

If there was ever a topic with tons of info available this would be it. I suggest a good searchy search
As for machinists in the MSP area that's a good question......
Head Werks Specialty machine in bloomington, excellent machine shop, guy has done a quite a few 7m heads for MHG before and they come out with a perfect finnish on them. Check 'em out (google: Head Werks)
Head werks is excellent. I usually use the machine shop at NAPA, which is in St. Paul. I would expect to pay $70-80 to get the head resurfaced and cleaned.
I just got my head back from Import Engines on 2nd ave north. They were highly recommended by a shop here in St. Cloud who specialses in Imports. The head looks awesome. Now if I can just get my buddy to put her back together ASAP.
Today I got a call from Jeff Tamulis. He's the guy working with Jon at MDC on the group buy for the upgraded CT-26. The man knows so much about turbos. My new turbo will be in next week and makes these look small. Can't wait to stomp a Mustang GT.

oh, also. if someone has a 89+turbo ECU, i would be more than grateful if you could swing by my shop to let us plug it in to my car, to see if MY ECU is shot. i don't need to buy yours, unless you have an extra one that's still in good shape. but that's only thing left we can think of that's wrong with my car. just call them and let them know if you can make it, and if you need directions
the number is 952 641 9000
thanks a lot!

They are off my 87. Never seen snow. I took them off and put on new MKIV wheels. St. Cloud is not far away. On Thurdays, I work evenings at Urgent Care in Monticello. I could throw 1 or all in my trunk. I usually finish at 8 pm or so. Just take them away, no charge. 320-248-3005.

that's awesome. if you'd want to just bring two, that'd be great. and i can give you a call in a couple days to set something up!
just out of curiousity.. tires or no? just need to know to know which vehicle i gotta take to fit em inside
thanks again, Dan!
I just took a quick look. They have been taking up space in my basement. Two have tires, Kuhmos. I will keep them, but the other 2 are ready to go. Both have a little curb rash. Put there by original owner. I have been running the MKIV wheels for the past several years.
Let me know if you want to meet me in Monticello after work Thursday night. My car is currently down. I had a exhaust manifild leak. When we took her apart. We found my turbo was shot, so new turbo is on the way thanks to Jeff Tamulis. He's the guy with the group buy for the upgraded CT-26. Mine will be bigger, with a huge exhaust side. More about this later as I am sworn to keep specifics quiet for now.
Also had head redone, Cometic head gasket and ARP studs, fuel pressure regulator, and intercooler pipes powder coated.

alright, sounds good. i'm not too worried about a little curb rash, as long as i can get a new tire on them. since one of mine's been broken.
thursday will be great, i just have to get everything worked out today with the buddy that's getting them for me.
hence the needing of the rim/tire and control arm, my supra is down as well
it's got an upgraded ct-26, too. it's a t3/t4 hybrid, and i've got intake, fluidyne radiator, and an apexi blow off valve, and a rebuilt, ported head, HKS metal head gasket, and ARP head bolts. nothing too major whatsoever yet, as we've been trying to figure out a fuel cut problem on it for the past year. finally ran out of ideas, and are gonna try and find a new ECU for it, since we think we fried it, haha.
