I'm putting a new head gasket on the Celica and I'm wondering if anyone has any info specific for this motor, or otherwise, that they'd like to share. I'll try to make a how-to out of this project if I can.

are you installing the 98+ metal gasket?

Come on man, you know I'm going for the 98+ metal one. If I had forgotten I would be happy you reminded me though. Thanks. I was thinking they switched them all to metal for replacement parts. But I'm going for the 98+ just in case. But, are there any issues with it? I didn't even think about the cooling lines or oil lines being different for it.

not that i know of.
make sure the 2 mating surfaces are CLEAN, like REALLY clean.
in most cases they tell you to have the block and head decked when switching over to a metal gasket.

I can't pull the block to have it decked. I would if I was rebuilding the motor, but I can't. I'll make sure it's clean though.
