Interesting thought / idea about the block deck

[lagged]

when you're 17, in high school, getting paid 6.25 an hour... all of that little stuff adds up, you gotta cut corners in order to make ends meet

and ive been there, and im here to say that there is no reason to rush. if you cant afford to do it right, get a cheap beater car that you wont have to worry about and build the supra right over time.

i would have saved LOTS of money if i didnt want to rush my project.

I've seen it done with JB weld more than once with no problems, the toyota 4 runners with the 3vze that blew head gaskets all the time, fill the pitting on the deck, scrape it level with a razor blade, use permatex hi tack or copper spray on head gasket. Used it on 7m head for pitting around coolant ports also.

You know there was a campaign, and it was extended more than once. The block was decked, or replaced if needed. Unlike the Supra, this was a real headgasket issue.

Yup, and they still had probs after replacing head gaskets, and then a recall on the next body style 4runners too for h/g.
