The banjo fitting is dealer only...Champion Toyota will give you a good price.
Yep on the RTV...if you used the cork gasket for the oil pan, take it off. I used Permatex "The Right Stuff" for the oil pan sealant...worked good. The TRSM calls for Toyota FIPG....what I used is a good substitute and is easier to apply.
There are 2 oil passages on the front of the block behind the timing plate. The HG does not seal them off that far forward on the block deck. The RTV prevents oil from seeping all over the front of your motor.
Driftmotion does sell the helicoil kits...PM Bigaaron. Like I said, really easy to do with the motor on a stand
Good question on the ARP torquing technique. I don't have a good answer as to why, but they should have it in the instructions with the hardware. They also say that a stretch gauge is the best (preferred) method...seems they would realize that the majority of us use a torque wrench.
JAV - looks like ARP changed the spec on the studs. The bolts do have a different spec....the one that applies to our aluminum head is 75 ft/lbs using moly for lube.
