QUOTE I have heard that 3SGTEs go through head gaskets alot. I've read that in almost every MR2 that competes in the USCC from Sport Compact Car. then on the sr forums they were talking about that as well. So, does the 3SGTE go through head gaskets as often as they say they do? What can be done to help prevent that besides having a collection of new head gaskets waiting to be replaced? yeah they were talking about this exact same thing in the sr20 forum i have also heard this. the 3sgte is not as reliable of a motor as many people think it is. i mean of course the mr2 guys run 15lbs daily. but the ct26's really like to go. and hear a lot of stuff about the piston rings nto seating right and just kinda doing whatever they feel like. also the bgearing are known to spin. i mean i cant see any car running 20lbs daily (what would be need for the 3s to make 450hp) be reliable. -------------------- Former: 96 GT 5 speed (i/p/e) Fate- rear ended by mack truck
