I have been replacing the cylinder head gaskets on my pickup since March. I bought a new crossover pipe from Toyota thinking that it would simple to reinstall. The pipe is about an eighth of an inch off. I've been searching the forum for similar issues with no success. Does anyone have a similar problem?

 

Have your heads been milled, or the block decked?
Even a small milling of these surfaces can upset the distancing of things like the crossover pipe, or sometimes of the lower intake casting.
You will likely have to bend your new crossover a little to make it fit.
Do you still have your old one to test fit?

 

No I don't. The old one was so rusted, I had to saw it off just to get the heads off. I haven't had any thing milled, but I did have to get a new left head because the old head was cracked.
