How to prevent BHG.

[Toysport]

It's good to know there others wrapped their crossover pipes and serves its purpose. However, I will have someone do it for me, I'll bring it to a shop.

What is the best thermo wrap out there?

Just wan to say thanks for everyone's input.

Hey guys, I went to Doug Thorley's website and the headers are available only for the 4WD. Mine is a 2wd.

i dont think it matters . i could be wrong. maybe it might interfere with the transmission but i havent see the underside so i cant say

I spoke to Nick Johnson at Doug Thorley. He says since the headers are designed for the 4 wheel drive it should fit in my t4r 2wd as long as my torsion bar sits above theis a-arms. Can someone confirm this?

Here is the best way to prevent failure of the head gasket.

step 1. pull heads off
step 2. put in new gaskets
step 3. put heads back on with NEW bolts.
step 4. put a sticky note in the dash to repeat this in 50,000 miles.

youll never get stranded with BHG if you follow this pattern.

hahaha
I will be doing my valve cover & exhaust manifold gaskets soon and I have seriously considered doing this..
I know its a much harder task than the VCG's...but it is not my daily driver and I can afford the down time.
but then again...if I am doing the HG's...why not do the timing belt and water pump ugh
Drats... what to do..what to do...
:naughty:
for the time being... the runner is running great but leaks from both valve covers & a small exhaust leak from the drivers side exhaust manifold gasket
