blown mhg? need to fix? how to:

[BOOSTEDSUPRA]

ive done 2 hg on gte's, first one, used stock hg with arp studs on first one, car ran great, then right after i did my second car, which i still have, used cometic and arp studs.

my first car with stock hg i pushed 15psi daily, and commuted 80ish miles round trip, always playin with the pocket rockets.

car i have now (one in picture) i drive frequently, and have pushed it to 18psi on a regular basis.

i have sold my first one to a good friend of mine who has done nothing to the car but change rad to aluminum. and the hg is perfect.. that was 5 years ago next month.

my car with cometic, still runs perfect and i attend as many supra meets as i can.

my point is hg reliability is ALL in prep work, i decked the block AND head, took all the necasary precautions to have a perfect reliable car. the bhg that has haunted the 7m and ultimatly hurt its rep, has nothing to do with the length of head, shape or whatever, but everything to do with the techs at toyota making a mistake. a mistake in torque specs.no mls hg in my opinion is crap, just some better than others.

just my 2 cents

thats not what i meant by layers i take it you did not install it if you think you got 5

Then what do you mean? My definition of a 'layer' in this situation is similar to that of stratum: one of several parallel layers of material arranged one on top of another.

I see 5 parts to my head gasket and yes, I DID install it myself. I removed one of the rivets -myself- because I didn't like how the HG would have to bend upwards when it was installed. It was not even the usual cometic one, either- they fixed that rivet/tab problem apparantly. That was when I noticed it had a bunch of layers.

I don't understand why you are being so condescending. Please cut the attitude, as it takes away from the enjoyment of this forum.

It's priceless. Everyone's arguing... yet they're all in agreement at the same time. So wtf is the point...? :sarcasm:






PS - I'm running a HG made of dark matter jam layered with peanut butter made from hope. And it holds 1,00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000... 00000036.7 psi, on my 1234 B.C. 7mgte. How's that for holding power?

So there. :naughty:
