[right][snapback]227976[/snapback][/right] yeah.... thats what im wondering. toyota is contacting me back letting me know whats going on. [right][snapback]227997[/snapback][/right] I'll bet who ever rebuilt your motor did'nt mill the head before they put it back on. [right][snapback]228011[/snapback][/right] That's not a necessity. It all depends on the head's condition. Assuming the head was in good shape... it's more than likely because of poor R&R (remove and replace). Bad head bolts or poor torquing... [right][snapback]228017[/snapback][/right] Yeah, there can be alot of leftover gasket. When I did mine there was alot of left over gasket that needed to be removed. -------------------- Member of Team 5sfTe
