So a Lucky Blown Head Gasket ????

Bump for Help !

 

I can get the manual when I’m home. One side is suppose to be 2 dot other side 1 dot line up.

 

Ohhh thank you sir !!! Please still check. But that wat you said makes total sense. That's wat stood between me and seeing the leak.

 

Also why in the book does it not count the last block to be removed?

Can I just leave this one installed it seems to only hold the round plug ??

 

That stays. It’s just a plug. The cylinder heads are same left to right. Just backwards. So the plug is where the cam would exit the head if it were on the other side

 

Well it's over lol thx for the help. It looks fine I got lucky and no rot. Just need to clean it and order Asin water pump kit, and the valve grind kit just need to find place with good price. There is the block, and gasket at the leak.

 

I have really enjoyed this thread. Thanks for sharing @Smily

Ok stone works, clean it then wet stone.

Ran a wet diamond stone over it and now its smooth just not wat I was hoping for.

I'll post a pic tomorrow with it clean for comparison

 

Well here it is, feels ultra smooth. Feels better than it looks. I think last time this was done the surface was cleaned not that great.

 

Sin is the water pump looks down right awesome lol

 

Ok my heads are dirty the valve covers were hand tight. I dont have access to a solvent tank. Does anyone think instead of wasting cans of gum out just pay to get them or let me clean em in solvent tank ???

 

Just have them hot tanked I don’t think they charge to much

 

Ok where would one look for this service? Seriously

 

Any engine machine shop should be able to do it.


You are replacing the valve stem seals on the engine right? Hot tank or solvents will ruin them

 

Ahhh shit I'm gonna say NO cause I'd have to open these up.

I also dont have the tool to compress the spring.

Thoughts please cause I gotta get it back on da road

 

Take them to an engine shop, pay them to clean everything and install new seals, you're too deep to cut corners

 

Ya I agree just had to come to terms of new level. Ordering the valve spring remover now.

Thx for the support

 

They can do the seals while they have it.

 

Since they comes in the valve grind kit (almost positive) I'll do myself get the tool as nd be ready for the next or someone to help out

 

Understood

Not much help for you now but in the future these 3M roloc's are perfect for cleaning heads and blocks before stoning them

 

Hey all waiting for parts to arrive Friday 9-18-20

Has the cyl. Head torque spec. Changed at all ?

My book has do sequence to 25 ft. Lbs. Then (2) rounds of 90°'s then socket head cap to 156 in lbs
Done.

That still the gospel ? YES ACCORDING TO TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISOR I called lol.

Funny I didn't realize the head bolts were so expensive

 

Vroom Vroom

Sounds and feels amazing. Was hella nervous but keyed it and turned right over.

 

Nice result and a great reference thread for the 5UZ folks.

 

I'll add more details that hung me up later. And some things that made a world of difference.

Thanks y'all

 

Ok I'm gonna jam the 1st few posts of mine with all the info I had to dig and beg for so if u need help ya needn't wade through 4 pages of my insanity. I should have left one or to blank for this but alas have not posted like this in forever.

And I was also in so deep for the 1st time so I made the decision not to get the valve grind kit and went with YotaShop.com's head kit 1022B the valve grind kit didn't come with the fasteners but the 1022B kit did.

I had to draw the line because if I'd had money there were seemingly endless improvements and cleaning.
