MORE PROGRESS! :evil2:
finished putting in all the valves!
put some little thing back on the head...
cleaned the block and head gasket surfaces. don't worry...i blew off all the fuzzies :biglaugh:
cleaned the hell out of the head gasket and sprayed it with permatex gasket spray and let it hang for about 10 minutes or so...
got my buddy and we aligned the head up perfect and placed the head on the block. i left NO fingerprints. i was very, very careful!
dropped the head studs in and wiggled the washers in...AFTER ARP lubing of course :icon_bigg
and torqued that bitch to 150ft/lbs!
haha JK! i torqued them to 85. i did 50 in sequence, then 60, then 70, then 80, and then finally to 85ft/lbs
so now my motor looks like THIS! :love:

oh god......
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....tell me that wasnt a BRAND NEW MHG?
youre NOT SUPPOSED TO SPRAY THAT GOD DAMN PERMATEX OR ANYTHING ELSE ON A BRAND NEW MHG... it has its own coating to seal with for first use....
:nono:
Also did you happen to remember to put FIPG on the two spots on the front timing cover that you are supposed to? People tend to forget that.

wasnt it a brand new mhg? what color was it? in fact didnt i sell/give (whatever i dont remember lol) you that mhg or is it another one?
Idealsupra;916763 said:
haha no i ended selling that one. it was the Greddy mhg. so, there was nothing on it.
kotu100;916836 said:
If you are using a brand new mhg it comes with a sealant coating on it already. You are not supposed to apply anything to it.
the t3d;916839 said:
Hmmmm im pretty sure the Greddys have the coating also... was it black or silver in color? hopefully youll be ok...but ive found that applying that permatex crap to new mhgs causes nothing but problems.
i knew that about the MHG (the viton coating), i was asking about the part in bold...
"Also did you happen to remember to put FIPG on the two spots on the front timing cover that you are supposed to? People tend to forget that."
are those just the 2 gaskets that go between the timing cover and the block?
sry for the hijack, looks like its coming along nicely, wish i had my supra when i was in school. if possible could you just take a lot of pics of the rest of your progress, i didnt label a lot of my bolts... DOH!

If it was silver you should ok. And it causes problems when theres too much of that permatex crap on it and it likes to clog coolant passages.
You should be ok though.
