hello everyone,
I bought a 1988 supra mk3 7mge a couple of months ago, i have a full service history,before being sold and the last owner was an old that wasnt into driving fast, i havent driven the car, well appart from the test drive and the drive home, the engine is quite healthy it has low miles, the brake lines were changed before being sold. So now that ive saved up enough money, im ready to start y project.
1st thing i want to do is change the head gasket.
could you guys please, give me a shopping list of what i need to buy for this ? i have a regular set of tools including a torque wrench. what do you think about the hks gasket ? what do you think about overhaul gasket kits ? im also quite confused i know i need to get head bolts, but do i need head studs will i need to remove the crankcase for this ? will i need to remove the engine? i really do not want to take the engine out.
2nd Since the head is coming out , i want to get the head polished and ground by a race shop. my father says if im taking off the head i should do the valves and camshafts. you guys have a shopping list for that ???
well thanks alot i know that im new, and if im out of place for asking these kind of questions please let me know =) but thank you in advance, i really cannot wait to start buying all these parts and to give my supra a nice tune up and get it on the street !!!!
