rockrees Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hello everyone, I need your help. I've recently brought a 300bhp Toyota Glanza V 5e-fte I think, link to the guys build is here: http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/dynamics/showentry.php?e=25075&catid=member&entryuserid=6707 The head Gasket has gone, but the garage which is fixing it can't find the right Gasket which obviously needs replacing. Please can you send me some links to the right Gaskets, I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment, and the car needs to be back on the road asap. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) From that spec list it was using a 2mm cruise headgasket, this one here : http://www.rhdjapan.com/cruise-full-boost-metal-head-gasket-2-0mm-toyota-4e-5e.html Personally I wouldn't use a 2mm headgasket, but its hard to advise when you haven't built the engine and know the clearances.

AdamB Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) £170 mate, yeah they aren't cheap. Personally I would go with a 0.6mm or the Paseo 0.5mm headgasket, but like I say I don't know the clearances of the engine so I can't say whether your going to have valve-piston contact. Only thing I can say would be that their must have been a reason why it was built with a 2mm gasket in mind. Edited November 22, 2013 by AdamB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockrees Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Paying about £1000 for everything to be done so might as well splash out and get it done right haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockrees Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Ooh right, ill just get the 2mm one then, just to be on the safe side, thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The Athena 1.2mm / 1.4mm are both a common choice. We have both in stock and they're just shy of £100. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockrees Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 The guy said to use this one? Just text him now, thoughts? http://www.tuningdevelopments.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=502_520_589&products_id=308 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 That is the Athena, also available here: Click for a 1.2mm or 1.4mm here Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The would lower your compression a lot, not sure I would use such a thick one tbh. What will you be using the car for? Drag/track/road? It won't help with lag, at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockrees Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Just road use to be honest, got the guys at the garage to have a butchers at the link you sent, and I think well go for the 1.4 mmApparently I wont get piston valve contact because its a non interference engine so the valve is fully out? Would explain why there is so much turbo lag though, thanks so much for all your help! Edited November 22, 2013 by rockrees Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Yeah that's right, these are non interference engines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 They are non-interference engines, but like I said, you don't know how the engine was built, it might well of had an excessive head skim, or running larger lift on the cams etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adeeb1395 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 As i am also building a 5efte engine, and with so many researches i have done yet i came to know that if i use 5e rod and 5e piston or 5e rod and 4e piston i need to shave the piston to match the cr of 4efte as i will use its ecu and electronics.but if i dont want to take risk of shaving piston, i need to use 5e rod and 4efte piston with 2mm head gasket.I think the car here was build with the same spec.
