Are you going to have the niples on the water neck welded shut, then polished?

You talking about the stock water ports where lines go for the turbo?

Not bad sir.

Are you keeping the stock oil cooler? If so, you will need the O-Rings for it. No, they aren't in your gasket kit, that kit only comes with the one for the aluminum housing to the engine block. There are two O-Rings for the cooler itself. Yes, they are the same as the 2JZ-GTE oil cooler.

Call Curt and ask him for the O-Rings for the cooler. Yes, replace now while its out. I didn't when I did mine as nobody knew what seals worked. It had a slow drip so I took a chance and ordered the 2JZ-GTE ones and they worked perfectly, same exact thing actually.

If you put the VVT-I valve covers on your car....I'll kill you.

Disclaimer : I have no problem with Jordan(Turbo Habaneo...Messycan). I will not kill him if he uses the VVT-I.
