5SFE Headgasket
I have a st184 celica with a blown head gasket that i will hopefully be using as a daily driver. Apart from following the Service manual and the normal headgasket thing, has anyone done this and got any tricks/time saving tips before i got ahead?

Re: 5SFE Headgasket
make sure u clean the head and block with carbycleaner or somthing like that and make sure u get all the water/ oil out of the bolt holes in the head before putting back togeather

Re: 5SFE Headgasket
get the head checked for warpageThat's the best advice I can give ya.
Aside from that, I'm pretty sure most things are marked for ya (such as camshaft pulleys etc etc) - just remember to follow the manuals instruction when removing the camshaft to get the head off - otherwise you *could* possibly bend the shaft a little.

Re: 5SFE Headgasket
pressure test and shave at a head place... especially since u've got a blown HG on you.
also if the oil has turned to cappucino, a good flush is in order i.e. new oil, filter for 1000 kms or so until no more cream colour in the oil. (i usually do it once and it's good).
good luck with it mate~
