garbla900 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Hi guys I'm just replacing my head gasket again as a tit (me) musta nicked it when they were putting it in last time. But now I have taken it off I'm doubting thatbthis is the right gasket as it seems to be covering up water galleries at the top side of the engine next to the oil gallery. Is this right am I being a tit or is it something wrong??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 toyota used the headgasket to block off some of the water ways to aid wwarm up...however on tuned engines its good to open these waterways up for the extra cooling!athena steel headgaskets open up the waterways!

garbla900 Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Not that I distrust what your saying but can that be right I've never heard of them being blocked off with a gasket before? Where would I get one of those head gaskets?? How much usually a fortune for a gasket are they not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Athena 1.2mm HeadGasket on left & Toyota HeadGasket on right you can clearly see the waterways that are blocked off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
