Head gasket

[Zukman]

Well my yota popped the head gasket, going to try to do it this weekend. Any one done one on a 22re?

[akram]

Yep. But I wont be around this weekend. Well maybe on sunday depending on how Saturday turns out.

Nope, but I have a book if you need it. I can't help Saturday, I have to judge a JROTC drill competition and then a wrestling match. But if you decide to do it on Sunday I will help you if you want some help with it.

yes many times, straight foward but remember the small hidden bolt under the cam gear !! seen many broken timing chain covers this way ..

you can save time and disconect manifold from tail pipe and dont have to remove manifold .. same with intake just disconect vacume lines and engine ground and drain antifreeze ..

the oil leaks are almost always from chewing gasket up trying to line up head over timing chain cover and engine block so special care there ..

Dont forget that 12 mm under the cam chain sprocket its in that little puddle of oil !
