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 |

if you are going that far, i suggest pulling the engine out and doing a full overhaul. Toyota has both a full engine gasket kit and a Head up gasket kit. the Head up has all the gaskets from the headgasket up.
