Does anyone know if the later model 6gens(97-99) come with metal head gaskets, and/or forged pistons. I was just wondering, i heard something like that before just checking if it was true. Sorry if this is a repost, I'm at work and dont have time to search.
shhhhhh.......No i'm not surfing the net at work

No... they're all the same except for a crank sensor on the later models... and that they use slightly different wiring and plugs cause they're OBD2...

Ok...so where can i get some forged pistons and metal gasket. Toyota carries the gasket right, but do they also carry pistons?

A lot of companies make forged pistons that can fit in the 5SFE... you can, however, just use the 3SGTE pistons if you're gonna go turbo. Might I ask... why do you want forged internals anyways? -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

3sgte pistons are too small for a 5sfe.

The 3SGTE bore is 86mm and the 5sfe is 87mm... i'm pretty sure the pistons will work without significant problems. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
