Paul Whiffin Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I changed the head on my single turbo'd Supra the other week, easy job if you ask me, might be a little trickier with the std turbos in place though but then you should be able to lift the head off with the turbo's/manifold still in place. Mine took around 5 hours total time to do approx. I'd personally fit a std head gasket on, thats what I use, I'm running 1.9 bar on very odd occasion, 1.5 most of the time and no problems at all with it.

Steve Cargill Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 As I recall the book time is about 11 hours. That excludes any other head work etc. (p.s. it's now getting a bit common, this MKIV BHG club, you are no 3 that I know of!!) Hybrids also need the fueling sorting out, unless you keep the boost right down. They also cost just under 2 grand for a pair.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
