Things I learned while doing a Head Gasket replacement on my 1994 Toyota PU 22R-E engine. When it came time to replace the head gasket on my...
Finished her up today. Woo Hoo, no leaks! Put about 50 miles on her today with no problems. Now, gotta get that front bumper painted and installed.
Thanks. I stopped by O'Rielly's on the way home tonight and picked up my heater hose, anti-freeze, Dupli-color satin black (or semi-gloss, I...
Well, I had a very productive day today. I got almost everything back together. I found that if you pull the starter and fuel filter and bracket,...
Yeah, I backed off on the valve lash before I removed the head bolts. You never know what I don't know, so keep it coming.
Took my head to the machine shop today. Took about 60 seconds on the belt sander. It did really need resurfacing, but it cleaned up real nice....
Got my head off yesterday. It appears that the head gasket is the only problem. That's great news to me. In a day or so I'll take the head to the...

I was really hoping I could find a thread about the head R&R. I tried the search function but couldn't find anything. Can someone point me in the...
Yeah, but since I'm so old and my skin is thin and has lost it's elasticity I scratch and bruise easily. You should see my hands and arms after...
Thanks for the quick reply. I have the manual, so I know about front cover bolt. What gave me the most trouble was the water hard lines coming...
I hope it's just the gasket and head resurface. If not, I hope it's just a cracked head. If it's a cracked block, I'm still okay, I got it cheap...
