Woohoo BHG!

:nono: Well, not exactly blown, but a small leak in my head gasket... you guys were right (I knew it probably was a bhg)... anywho... it's at the local shop (best in town, where the police get their cruisers maintained)... it's having the head shaved and a metal head gasket put in... hopefully my problems with my car are over (knock on wood)....

Doesn't the block have to be shaved too so, the metal head gasket seals up properly?

 

[supramacist]

YES

Be better off with a good quality composite HG if you can't have the block decked.

Especially with a 7MGE. No MHG really necessary, a Toyota one would more than suffice here!

turns out it is a composite one... with metal inserts or something like that... got to see my whole motor apart today tho, pretty cool to see how good of shape the internals are in... they all look new... guess the previous owner got his $6k worth for the rebuild!
