damn that thing is sick!! but i aint even got longs yet...

got some more rims for helping a friend do some bodywork. there 15"x 8.5". im going to use them until i can get beadlocks for my steelies.

Nice. looks good man.. how hard were the beads to seat on those rims? if thew were tight, you probably won't need beadlocks..

it wasnt easy. took me 30 min. to take all 4 old tires off those rims and about 3 hours total to get the iroks on.

You have to run very low air pressure for those irocks to work great. We used to run 3-5 pounds on the old buggys. Truck looks great. What a difference. I need to find someone to trade my 37" MTR's for some 40" irocks

so now what do i do? you guys know a good machine shop?

Do you have a straight edge or a good, straight metal square, (in the shape of an L). Just use a long sanding board with 80 or so grit paper, and sand longways, then diagnal accross the head surface and block surface. be easy on the head as it is aluminum and it will be easy to take too much off in spots. Plug any oil passages in the block that supply the head with oil and sand with even pressure. Not too hard. Clean them up with brake parts cleaner, and lay the edge of the straight edge accross the head and block surfaces and check for warpage with a feeler gauge. I think max is .003 . if it is that or less, get toyota gaskets and put it back together. I believe you can re-use the 22re head bolts. double check though. i also believe the yota techs torque down the head, then after the final torque is completed, they will loosen each bolt, one at a time and re-torque each one in the oe sequence. It has been a while so let me double check that info.

ok, i got time today to do this. i spayed seafoam on the block and head to loosen up the carbon and old headgasket. i will post my findings later today.

so im going to get a toyota headgasket but everything else i need im going to get from engnbldr. waterpump, headblots and all the other gaskets. ive heard good things.

Sweet.. Remember the hidden 12 or 13 mm bolt in the head to the timing cover. It will be in the front part, inside the head, behind where the timing chain would be, filled with oil. You won't be able to see it, but it's there.

block is good, head not so much. anybody know a good machine shop?

Hey, before you go dumping money into that head, let me see what I could get for a new one. I got's hook-ups.

Is it warped? What's wrong with it?

ya its warped.

ok back at it.

i got almost everything to get the motor back together but ive got some snapped bolts on the water pump ive got to deal with first.

and here she is...
