    Default 4A-GTE Questions?

    Just wondering if anyone knows of anyone that has setup an external oil pump? I am considering it for my current 4A-GTE build. If so, how did one go about doing such a thing?

    Also i have a o-ringed block, what gasket is recommended? I have been told to stay away from metal ones, and that a graphite one is the way to go?

    If you run a graphite gasket, it kinda defeats the purpose of having an o-ringed block.

    Run a thick copper head gasket and run more boost.

    edit: providing rest of engine/setup can handle it.

    go with copper gasket .
    Alot of the top guys are steering away from o-rings these days as the steel gaskets work extremly well and dont come with the head fu#ks that o-rings will give.
