mr2 v6 head gaskets (1mzfe)

mk2mattw · Post by **mk2mattw** » 04/06/10 19:42

Hiya! i am going to start getting parts together for my v6 conversion-got a cheap gasket set for the general gaskets but the head gasket itself is rubbish! Any idea where i can get quality head gaskets from as i am looking into remapping etc so i dont want i to pop after 10,000miles!

many thanks
matt

this site is brilliant so many helpfull people! basically i am looking to put lightened flywheel/port polished heads, make my own manifold/downpipe because both look cr*p!, ultrasonically clean injectors/ flow throttlebody

am i right in thinking these cars have a bit of a rep for popping head gaskets?

That's the 3vz and with what you've said there the standard gaskets should do

this is the hg i have got it looks really crude to me with the rubber inserts in it (red bits) i personally think it looks rough but what do you guys think?

If it's a cheap eBay gaskets I'd bin it personal, the stock Toyota gasket if not planning to go FI or mls gasket if you do.

drop a quick pm to mr2big..... he can give you the Mr T part number for the Toyota MLS gaskets. They're about £30 each i think.

And worth every penny
