Hi , Headgasket question

BlackMR2 · 01-25-2007, 10:00 PM

Hi all, Im a new owner of a 91 MR2 with a blown headgasket 5sfe. I have changed them before on a 90 celica 5sfe and was wondering how much harder it is to do on a MR2, thanks, Mark S

Getting to the timing belt tensioner to get it off the cams will be a bit harder and getting the intake manifold off will be a bit harder all because of tight space. If you've done it already in a Celica you should be able to handle this but expect it to take you longer.
