ok..my friend and I are gonna do my head gasket... what other stuff should we change out while doing the gasket... the motor is a d16z6 with a greddy turbo kit.. it has about 60miles on it... so far.. i was thinking about changing the timming belt and water pump.... what else can i do to it... thanks..

 

full tune up parts would be a good place to start. plugs wires cap rotor filters, gaskets ( valve cover, intk mani., header, cam shaft seal, distributor shaft seal, ect)

 

so... i should change my intake gasket, header gasket,, and what is a cam shaft seal.. and what is a distributor shaft seal.... so ..if there is oil under my distributor, does that mean i should replace what ever gasket is leaking oil...

unessesary. get a headgasket, timing belt and water pump. new head bolts would be good too. people have gotten away re-using them, but I wouldn't want to.

put in a nuformz block guard

 

Probably better off using a ARP Head Stud kit, especially with a turbo. They will pay for themselves, the next you have to pull the head....

 

do a full tune up, you know a underbody light tune, led washers, foglight kit

ok..damm.. so far.. i got all the **** out.... the hardest part was the header bolts........ damm ...i'm never gonna use lock tight on that **** again....its gonna be a bitch trying to remeber all those hoses that go to the intake manny............ehh.. oh well.....

 

Also, how about brand new water hoses. All of them. New tensioner. And two brand new apple pie a'la modes.......dahhhhhh *slurp*

 

"Most Important"-----&gt;Check head and block for warpage while they are apart. Might need to get them decked/resurfaced.

 

warpage... what does that look like.... uhmm i'm gonna send my head into sam's to get it cleaned, resurface, and pressure tested.... bout $70... also.. when i took apart my turbo.... one of the gaskets was cracked... uhmm would greddy sell new gaskests or would it be better to buy a copper sheet from a parts store and make a template with the old one..??
