Hi just bought a 1992 toyota 4x4 the headgasket is done..

I looked at the other thread on this forum,
however i cant find any good links for DIY for my motor
would anyone here have a good links with pics on how to do the headgasket
on my truck?
ANY advise or tips to make the job go easy sure would be appreciated,,
I really want to get her back on the road
again soon..
Also do i have to remove the manifolds from the head or can i keep them together intact and take them off as one piece?
thanks

LAKOTA! IT HITS THE PAIN WHERE IT HURTS HARD LAKOTA!!!

 

if you are for real......

3 things...

#1 SEARCH and ye shall find...then get back to us

#2 if this is NOT SPAM...let's hear some more details.

#3 if you want to get banned on your 1st post...you're doing it right posting a spammer link.

 

he's right




oh, I need some decals

 

This is spam, he works for toyota4x4parts.
Dude, do not try and fool us with posts like this.
We are not dummies here.

If you have a legit site that sells parts, then introduce yourself and post in the classifieds under vendors.
We do not take kindly to spam tricks.

 

I thought the same thing with the spammer link, Yes I clicked the link too.

Funny thing is he says the headgasket is done, but wants info to do it again.

 

I think we need to buy some "Thread-be-gone"

 

what's with the spamming today? geez!

 

cLICK HeRe Or ClIcK hErE

 

SPAMMER.....

I'm gonna click those....you know I will....

 

Nice...........hahahahhaha

 

NOPE im not spam own a bunch of TOYOTAs and yes im going to
doo the head gasket as soon a s i find some Torque specs and advice
you dont like my signature well what can i say than i did buy a cheap headgasket kit from thatg site it was cheap.. So i was happy
But what other details do you need know?
the truck is 1992
22re
????? What else?

 

in that case, how's it goin'?

there's some links around here to FSM on-line

as far as details......whatever you think is pertinent...miles, reason for failure or how you figured it out.

we like pis too and lots of them....so if you have a pic of your truck and / or engine, we always like YOTA-PORN.

full range of experience here on YOTATECH too...from novice but learning fast (me) to experts.....

www.engnbldr.com has been a place alot of us have gotten quality stuff from and the guy that owns it has a vested interest in providing excellent parts and service, because we keep referring him around

 

Sure No prob i can snap a few pics of my beasts soon.. as for the reason how i know its the headgasket pooched is,,, i tryed starting it ,,wont start The compression sounded weak it whirled over really easy then i checked the RAD it was low as i filled it up i heard a liquid pouring out from the RAD hole/crack in it so i suspect the dude whom had it running drove it with low coolant and overheated her..Burning out the Gasket...ANyways.. Once it was toped up i tryed it again It started to Hydro Lock after a few whirls it then got some compression from sucking coolant in from what i suspect is the blown gasket area so i dropped the the oil and examined it sure enough coolant was in there! So ya head gasket i figure is done or maybe even worse but i want to stay postive lol,,,I WOnt know till i rip it apart and look!! ANyways i would like to find some links if possible on changing the head gasket and timing chain info on 22re,, Cause if it is only the head gasket i can replace it in the same day as i rip apart so i can get it back together while my memory is fresh and in order as i take apart.,,,JUST makes things way easyier,,,TO be prepared with helpful hints RAGS and the torque specs... Other hints like hey might aswell do the timing chain while your at if worn out ect... Ok any advise would be appreciated ALSO REMEMBER THIS LAKOTA FOR ARTHERITIS POUNDS IT GOOD AND HARD!!HA!! LAKOTAAA!!
