hey all just reporting in... i just recieved my SUNWEST automotive Supreme long block with rv cam and new head bored .20 over and new everything.. stay tuned will be installed this weekend hopefully

 

Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. I'd yank the head the throw on an oem toyota headgasket.

 

That would void his warranty.

 

they have great reviews, block look immacuate head looks good, supposedly oem quality gaskets

 

Obviuosly given the choice we would all use oem gaskets...

But Im sure your motor is fine. They rebuild motors. They know what they are doing.

Good luck on the install..and we are all here if any issues or questions come up.

 

I got a 22r long block from Sunwest back in 2011, it has 27k miles on it so far.

 

i was just looking it over all the gaskets are victor...they seem to have good words associated with them. the supreme engine with rv cam and shaved head ran me 1438+shipping to texas but it looks awesome

 

i also ordered new injectors, cross your fingers we will see how it goes

 

Wow 1400 bucks? I got mine for 2000, but I also ate the 300 dollar core charge.

One day ill rebuild my old block myself. Good luck to ya.

 

I replaced a blown headgasket on a sunwest rebuild after only 10k. You get what you pay for.

 

well dang thats not encouraging was it a build u did or replacing for someone else??

 

It was for someone else. It had a hard start for several months before it finally popped. Most of these rebuild shops use low end cheap gaskets. And for the most part its okay. But ask for an oem headgasket. It should only be a few extra bucks for parts. That motor now has close to 40k on it without a problem.

 

Check with mike on re-tourqing the head after break in.I installed my Sunwest four years ago.No issues.
