Good luck with the stock gasket. My experience is MHG is the way to go in terms of reliability. So if the stock HG goes again I recommend you use MHG, as long as head is straight and block deck surface is straight and smooth.
Yeah, I agree that MHG is the way to go and have taken a risk with staying with an oem gasket. My main reason going this route is to minimize downtime for my Supra. I'm currently looking for a good used 7mgte long block or entire engine - which will definitely get decked/machined tp use a MHG.
@@juniortabios6747 when you do that make sure you have ARP bolts it doesnt have to be head studs as long as you dont push the engine that much even tho though. 75lb for head bolts is the safe 80lb is fine also
@@oliveoyl388 It's around 230-240whp; not a lot but yeah it's more fun to drive compared to when it was NA, lol! Main goal has been to keep drivetrain reliable, so I don't miss autocross events. If time permits, I'll have another engine ready with a little more power next season.
@juniortabios6747 great plan, it's obviously worked, I mean they are old and blow head gaskets but you're tracking this and giving it hell and it lasted 4 years! Obviously doing something right
