As far as I've heard Fel Pro aren't very good. Toyota is definitely better than Fel Pro gaskets. I suppose it depends on how it's installed but, I wouldn't use Fel Pro if I were you. I mean the Fel Pros you had had in there failed after 15k miles so what does that say? Just buy some Toyota gaskets or get some from Ted and do it right, unless you enjoy pulling the intake and replacing headgaskets every 15k miles.

 

i called the guy yesterday and he told me about something new he was told by toyota. there is a minimum distance from top to bottom of the head that they did not know about. now mind you he didn't go shaving 1/8" an inch off the heads. when i get them off i will have to check what it is. if it is too short, he said "head-saver shims" which are new to the industry according to him, would fix my problem...all of this is new to me so if someone knows something about it please let me know.

 

if its a 15k remanufactured motor, wouldnt it be covered under warranty from where you bought it fromt?

 

yeah its covered fully but as stated in my first post, i dont have the time to ship it back for them to fix

- i'm going with the nwor headers and y-pipe for the auto tranny. i know their customer service isn't the best but their product quality seems to be top notch

 

i think the whole fell pro rumors is bullcrap ,and im about to prove it check me out ,
