McGeary1 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Fresh rebuilt engine done 130km and the tuners told me head gasket has gone (sniff test was yellow) question is: is it worth putting a steel 1.2mm gasket on or use another standard one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 use a standard 1.6mm GENUINE TOYOTA one.they last fecking ages and work well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Goose Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I have a brand new genuine toyota 1 for sale cheap if you want it. Just bout a full gasket kit which it came in but got an athena 1 already Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McGeary1 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Cheers guys I was thinking of an Athena one myself 1.2mm quite cheep as it will never blow. How much for your one turbo goose? Posted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I would go with turbo goose one myself. unless ure running huge power athena is bit overkill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Jesus 130km and head gasket gone already, the dumbest question in the world would be why? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 1.2mm Athena would be my choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

McGeary1 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 It's just what they told me could, it be a cracked head (hope not) so there is a point in getting one if they last foreve, the one I put on during te rebuild was oringnal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Goose Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Strange that its gone after a rebuild. Who rebuilt it? Headgasket should last 10s of thousands of miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McGeary1 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Bottom end went so I did a full build myself. Every thing else is tight and good. The garage might just be saying it to get out of working on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
