Replacement 1GR for my 2007 FJC

[BMThiker]

I'm considering powder for the VCs depending on how much prep time is required. The garage owner has a special shade of red set aside for me. Had my 80 wheels pc'd that color.

The oxidation is really hard to remove by hand. Not sure I want to sandblast these parts though.

Either soda blasting or glass bead blasting works great on aluminum alloy, but they will leave a matt finish (glass beads even more so than soda).

Kitty got everything lined up from a list I started and one of their previous customer's overhaul list. $2200 in parts ordered so far.

But, did you get an OEM gasket kit?

I'm not doing the heads. So, no, didn't order the master gasket kit.
