steady_eddie Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Im not sure if im allowed to post this up here but i will anyway in the interst of saving you guys some money.. 3 weeks agao i paid AD performance in cambridge (http://www.adperformance.co.uk) 900 pounds to rebuild the engine in my MKiii turbo supra. after collection it took 387 miles to blow the head gasket. the garage refused responsibility and told me i had to do it myself, so i set about the work, now the correct torque setting for mkiii head bolts is 72ft/lbs imagine my horor when i found mine were at 35-40ft/lbs needless to say the gasket has gone on every cylender and the head is to serverly warped to ever use again. thank you for reading.

Isn't Fen Road where 'Totally Custom' used to be as well? yes AD performance is on the same road as totaly custom used to be. but i have been assured it was a differnt unit they used.... im not sure i stand a chnace as ive already started the work my self. i mean im so into it im just about to take the head off. from the amount of water in the inlet manifold ill be suprised if there is even a gasket!
