Hello, I'm glad I found this site. I've purchased a 95toy4, 3.0L vze (out to rebuild) 2wd, Auto, and just found a local rebuilt VZE w/blown hg.....they used the orig head bolts!!!, inconsistent torque #s, I'll buy new bolts, not sure which hg yet (you'll tell me the best, right?). I'll eliminate the xover, use two left exh manifolds, then scope the tie back together. I have many questions about best reassembly and improved parts/methods to use. I'll be prowling around.
Happy today!! Best day yet!!
Bud
