Guest clydey1 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 After causing some damage with too much nitrous i finally got round to stripping the head off to see what damage had occured.. At first glance i could see nothing wrong so sent head off for checking and skimming..turns out it was warped but that's not all... while the head was being checked i thought i'd run my own tests on pistons so i filled each piston bore with brake fluid and left it over nite...Checked this morn and sure enough number 2 cylinder had lost some fluid.. Well to get to the point i've now ordered the piston ring set from toyota gonna do all six and glaze the bores while i'm at it.. So the advice is NO NITROUS ladies and gentlemen.. Just wondered if any of you know where i can get an uprated or oversized H/Gasket for a 94 N/A and some Head bolts... Any opinions Please...

Chris Wilson Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I used to run a retirement / funeral home for decrepit and dead pistons when nitrous was popular in the eigthies. Nothing much changes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use stock Toyota head gasket and bolts, no reason to use anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
