Also any one no of some reputable shops in or near Seattle, WA. I would like to take it to someone that knows a little about supra motors at least.

I used a gasket kit from ebay a little while ago. It works okay. Just a note though is DON'T USE THE INJECTOR O-RINGS. They are smaller than the OEM ones. You will piss fuel all over one injector at a time. I pulled my fuel rail about 3 or 4 times. It was like a game of whack a mole. Just go to toyota and get them. I paid about 24 for all 6 of them. The other gaskets work good though, except the manifold gasket. Again another trip to toyota and about 48 bucks.

well i wasnt planning on using those or the head gasket

I went to importperformanceparts.net to get the full gasket set, rings, bearing and what not. The prices are good and they are OEM quality. Good luck with the rebuild.

 

[gsx750r93]

what about pistons?? So the bearings dont i have to take it to a machinist first so they can tell me what size to get. I want everything in the block basically new except for the rods and crank

 

[AF1JZ]

They have the pistons on that site too. If your cylinders are staying at stock size, you can use the std. pistons and std. rings.

 

[gsx750r93]

Well what about shops???Anyone??

 

[AF1JZ]

I'm east coast, so can't help you out there. But, you could always grab the TSRM and DIY. Or find another SM member that might be able to give you a hand.

That gasket set is for an N/A but most of the gaskets are interchangeable. I bought a set from RPMperformance.com. It came with the bearings, rings and gaskets for about $300 shipped and made by topline. I have had no problems with it.

A few reputable members on here have advised me to use the oem toyota gasket set, and that's what I'm sticking with (except the HG of course ).

 

[gsx750r93]

O one more thing...

So sense i will be boring my motor 40 or 20 over hopefully 20 over though, does that mean i cant use a MHG... What do i gotta do about that

 

[mazzer]

this is the wrong car to go cheap on.

i certainly hope you do need to go .40 over. there are metal head gasket sizes to suit boring..

Youll just have to get a HG to accomadate your block modifications. Dont forget to make sore you resurface you block and head and use ARP head studs.

As for the gaskets, go to toyota and get a bottle or two of FIPG

DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON THIS CAR. you may die, or some close.

 

[gsx750r93]

FIPG???Not on th HG Though.

So Hks or another company makes head gaskets to accomadate the bore?

So what all do i get for the oil squirters, Just the springs???

I just got a set of gaskets from an ebay source and Im totally impressed. They were way better than the first set I bought and included more gaskets and seals etc as well.
Their store link is: http://stores.ebay.com/ERISTICGASKETS

I purchased a couple of items from them and it is all very nice OEM quality or better.

I used thoes pistons on my 89 supra pushin about 450whp at 18lbs of boost on a turbonetics 60-1 and never had a problem. Cheap and effective. Now as for how long the would have heald up at 450whp i dont know cuz the car got stolen about a week later. But untill then the car ran the best its ever ran before.

I'm looking at the full gasjet set right now from importperformanceparts.net. I would like to know which level you ordered.

Major Engine Kit:
Contains complete gasket set, set of pistons and rings, main bearings, rod bearings, thrust washers, timing belt, balance shaft bearings (if applicable), and a set of expansion plugs.
Does NOT include: camshaft, timing kit or oil pump!

$429

Gold Engine Kit: Major Kit components plus Oil Pump. $615

These kits are made by Topline and from what I have read they seem decent. However, they give you the option to upgrade to TOGA main/rod bearings as well as a TOGA HV oil pump. I don't know anything about TOGA or if the extra money would be worth it. (20 ea for rod and main bearings, 50 for the oil pump)

Any insight is appreciated because I have never done this before.

 

[starscream5000]

OEM oil pump, I'm guessing a stock TOGA pump is for NA and the HV is a renamed Turbo oil pump? Don't order any of that unless you know what size pistons you need to order, along with what size bearings.

 

[Sawbladz]

Ya I won't be ordering anything till it's all apart and I know what size everything needs to be. I just want to know what to get and where to get it from. I know alot of stuff I should just get from Toyota.

What all gaskets should I use FIPG for and what requires a specific gasket from a kit like this?
