The Toffinator Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Think my headgasket is on its way out, and will be fitting an athena headgasket and just wonderibg are the £30 headbolts off iddy any good? Or are genuine toyota or Arp ones worth the extra? Arps are £120!Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 We've sold absolutely loads of those, they are very very good quality and are OE approved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yeh i woulda thought they would be fine, mabye comparing it on a motor running megaboost but im not going to be doing that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Is there anything else worth doing when the heads off? I will be ordering bolts, gasket and cambelt kit, Is it neccesary to replace the water pump as well? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Water pump is highly recommended when you're replacing the timing belt. Are you having the head freshened up too? Stem seals would be a good idea if so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Skim head, replace stems, headbolts, gasket kit, water pump new belts would be a good start Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Was considering freshening the head up, will only get it skimmed if it fails the straightedge test mind. I knew i would end up with a big list! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
