engine refresh

[Guest Enzo]

since i need to change the head i might aswell refresh the whole engine with new gaskets and seals,

does anyone know a kit you could get from toyota to do this?

[llawgoch]

you can buy full engine gasket set, then buy all the seals seperate

[Guest Enzo]

i know it might be abit monotnus but where could i find a list of all the seals id need to buy,

whats a decoking kit??

Hey Geo. Get your head polished while its out and thinking of changing the gaskets and seals swapped. Take it to an engineer and he'll do it for you. If not thinking of doing that if you get a good cylinder head .. personally I wouldnt bother changing the seals. Just get yourself a new headgasket and fit it.

[Guest Enzo]

yea depending on price i will get the head ported and polished,

found a company to presure test it and skim it,

just need to find a head now,

do you know what a decoking kit is, something to do with the valves?

[DaMaGe]

Keep in mind by porting it you will increase lag mate. 99.9% I wont be doing it with mine neither when I put on the Blit K24 turbo (if i find one).

LOL doesnt want to answer your question G mate

[starletboy]

de coking is just cleaning the valves up and the tops off the pistons and the head because off carbon build up from fuel etc you should lap the valve sin to get a decent seal around them but you will need to measure and put new tappets in as otherwise will prob be really rattly engine!!!!!!

hope this helps or if you understand anything i just wrote!!!!!!!!!!
