I will probably be back and forth from my truck to my computer for the next couple of days but for now,once I get it torn down and putting new head gaskets on should I use Permatex copper spray gasket on the heads?block?gaskets?all three?or none?

I did (just on the gaskets; you don't really want that stuff on the piston heads), and I had a good result. So if you're willing to take a sample of one, go ahead and do it.

Im on the first of many breaks to come,I havnt even got to the timing cover off yet,just got the power steering off and strapped to the fender and the alternator loose and belt removed,its like 100 degrees out here.Should I be drinking beer or will that make me forget everything?

mmmmm beer. i try not to drink to much beer when wrenching, or i will forget where ˟˟˟˟ goes haha

take a sip of beer, and then next time some water... go back and forth with a shot of jack from time to time... helps with the cuts u get when wrenching...


also make sure u use Toyota factory head gaskets, dont use cheap ones. and also make sure u put the gaskets on the right side and right side up... just a couple things people mess up with.

If you do much of the drinking, you'll probably need to label more stuff, but you'll care less about it if you drink more. I lose track of underhood stuff so fast with a buzz...
