I just blew a head gasket on my 22r 1983 Hilux. I was about to pick up a Felpro head gasket kit tomorrow but I was told that the Felpro head gaskets are horrible and I will just end up replacing it.
Normally I would just order Toyota parts and be done with it. But I just picked up a 2004 2RZ with 15k on the clock I am going to swap in but I just don't have all the parts just yet. So this ole' 22r has to last me for the next couple of months (including a 1200 mile trip to Tellico... already did it once this year ) .
So, are they as bad as I've heard? I would really hate to replace it again or have it blow on a trip.
Would I just be better off ordering a kit from engbldr.com? Where are there gaskets made?
Thanks in advance,
