Hey everybody, thanks for all of the info and advice on the cracked head. I removed the head today and I came up with a bunch of questions.
1. I have an oem Toyota water pump on right now it has a tiny bit of play in it, almost unnoticable should it be replaced?
2. My hoses are in good shape but it seems like a folly to not put new ones in while the head is off. Are The CCOT hoses good?
3. CCOt has the water pump and radiator hoses, Who has all of the hoses that go to the firewall and the connecting firewall lines?
4. I noticed that when I took the head off that the gasket had some of the holes blocked. A couple of them were susposed to be blocked because they did not have coresponding holes, but some of them did had coresponding holes. Can anyone recommend a good gasket? Felpro?
5. Does anybody know where to get one of the inline filters for the radiator fluid? The type that gors into the top radiator hose?
6. Since I know that there is water in the bottom end and the gasket is leaking I am going to pull the oil pan. I have heard that there is a newer style one piece oil pan gasket. Who makes it?
7. Is there anything else that I should replace while the head is off? I had great compression before I pulled the head 144-160. So I am not really concerned abot the bottom end, Anything else that I should clean or replace while the top end is off?
Thanks
