yeah i saw the gasket seperate just thought there was a kit i was overlooking that darkdezigns had spotted.

Head gasket come seperate because there are three thicknesses. You need to match the gasket to the one you have on the vehicle. They are coded with a cutout on the rear of gasket and/or possibly a letter stamped on them.

2.4 & 2.8cc Engine Cam Belt Kit
Radiator Cap (45mm) for Japanese fitment
Thermostat Diesel
Water Pump 2L/3L 2.4/2.8 Diesel Water Pump

i asked about gasket thickness,barry said they only supply that one as it gives best seal,ie it gets crushed/pushed down,only other bits i'd say is oil filter,then just fluids which are easier to pick up local,dont forget to give yr rad a good clean out too

[T1z3R]

thanks mate.
i gave it an oil and filter change not long ago so ill give that a miss.
i just fitted a new radiator on saturday there but ill flush the system through to get all the crap out.

and thanks for the comment on the head gasket.

i feel less nervous now about hitting the submit order button.

You may incur one snag, I'm replacing my LN130 head at the moment and purchased a full gasket set from the same supplier, it was missing both throttle body gaskets, both egr gaskets and stat gasket, it did however have gaskets in that I can't identify and don't need. Mistakes happen so I made my own. Or maybe they arn't considered part of the head set. May ring them if I get time.

[T1z3R]

well all my bits came today...with a FREE mousemat
hopefully my courier has collected the head from chewee and should be delivering it to my dads place at some point today also.

i did contact milners RE theyre complete gasket set at about £60 and the girl who got back to me (Sandra) said their complete gasket set included everything, even the head gasket. i should have probably just ordered the set from them but i went for the head set from roughtrax to save on delivery charges and possible delays.

hopefuly work commences in the am on saturday.

[stormforce]

at least you know with Roughtrax you will get the genuine gaskets.Milners i'm not sure if they are genuine toyta or not

[T1z3R]

well thats all my bits here, heads just been dropped off...courier says it weighs about 48kg?!!??!! that seems a lot.

how the heck did any of you manage to lift that up onto the block?

By using two people... Which you are going to need. Font forget to put the exhaust manifold on before refitting the head... It's nigh on impossible to put on afterwards.. Good luck
