well unfortunately my 86 22r blew its first hg, at just under 185k(most likely more, the odo is off because of the bigger tires)

I dont want to get a new head, rebuild the head because i fear that to much compression will f*(& up the bottom end of this tired motor.

i was keeping a list of parts today while trying to pull the head.

Headgasket
Head Bolts $25 from engn bldr
timing chain kit(since im doing hg, might as well) $50 from engnbldr
fuel pump
fuel filter
water pump(should i replace this? im assuming its stock)
valve cover gasket(its only a couple months old, but when i pulled the cover it is ripped in 2 places, wasnt leaking but should be replaced probably
exhaust manifold gasket
thermostat(was having overheating problems)

these are all toyota parts right, and not just cheap aftermarket parts that "fit Toyota"

also, anyone have advice on getting the exhaust manifold away from the exhaust? i cant loosen the 3 nuts holding it together.

thanks yt
