Hey guys,
Got the BGB and all the tools to do the head gasket replacement. Just wondering what you guys think the best gasket set to buy would be, or do i just need the mls head gasket? And should i go OEM or some other brand from local parts store?? Lastly, i haven't done a HG before so any tips? Cheers, Rece |

Sorry forgot to mention it is a 5sfe.
Yes i am planning to get the head resurfaced and the valve seals done as well. The timing belt and water pump was done 20k km ago so should be in good shape but while im there ill have a look at it. The few sets ive found from the local parts dealer do not include head bolts. Is it a good idea to get new ones? |
