ed,
having been a toyota parts man for the service dept and body shop i can
tell you
with certainty that you will benifit from not folowing the same
exact
proceedures of spridget repairs on your car. there are good
ftermarket head
sets out there but i do know there is a varying quality in
the manufacturing of
them. so if you choose to not go to toyota for the
gasket be certain to get a
well known type like fel-pro or similar type.
definitly have the head checked
, with care taken to the area of gasket
failure as well as replace the valve
seals while apart. best of luck in the
repair. i have a 1989 buick 3.8l v6
waiting for me to do head gaskets on
right now....
chuck.

Subject: [Spridgets] Head Gasket
Bubbles
in my radiator and overheating with my 94 Celica, (2.2 litre) so it
looks
like time for a head resurfacing and gasket replacement. Any
recomnmendations. I revall seeing on one of the Sprite discussions something
about a "sticky" surfaced head gasket. Any comments, info or caveats about
thgat type of gasket or other thoughts?
