My husband thought our MR2 was garbage after he diagnosed the problem as a blown head gasket. A very kind friend offered to help my hubby change the ...
It is September 2012. I have a 1985 with a blown head gasket. It will
start, but doesn't stay running. Everything else seems to be ok and the car
looks so good, I am thinking of having this done at a garage. Problem is,
they tell me when they get in there, I should replace the timing belt,
water pump, etc. etc. and they want to charge a lot for the repairs. I
think I have to give them permission to do anything they want. Scary to not
know the price.
dang, i usually go by the cheat sheet if its older then 2000 if the engine
is in the back and its not a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche if the head
gasket is busted then junk the ride. but good job for saving this one from
the bone yard. though emissions wise should it be saved? about the video-
no info on how you actually did this, just showing off that you did, so
that is not really helpful at all.
@Dustmuffins Yes, it seems to be ok. At first I thought it had not because
the exhaust was loulder, and I bought a used supposedly "good" manifold on
ebay. It turned out to be in poor condition with the same crack at #4
cylinder. I ended up keeping the repaired manifold after removing it and
seeing it was ok. Some exhaust bolts needed tightening, and the noise
quited down. It's running great.
I am sorry this is pretty much all the video I have of this job. I
recommend the Toyota shop manual (green cover). Also, type in
"Lovehorsepower"s head gasket removal" in the youtube search, he has made
some very detailed videos for his 91 MR2. There is a lot of similarily and
helpful hints. Let me know how it goes or if there is anything else I can
help with.
@eva0392 I would have liked to have documented it better, but I was working
in a friend's garage and felt time constrained/stressed/happy just to do
the job. It was the biggest job I had attempted on a car, and I wanted to
encourage others that it could be done. I could not have afforded to pay
for the job, so it was fix it myself or adios to the car.
@blytheluv Thanks for the reply. That's good to hear it's running well.
I've recently had a crack in my snowmobile pipe repaired and was wondering
how a similar repair would hold up on a car. Granted, the snowmobile pipe
is significantly thinner, and the engine runs significantly hotter, but
it's nice to hear about a similar repair working out.
Hi, I am doing this right now on a 85 mr2 and i was wondering if this was
all the video you have of it or maybe you recorded more and just couldnt
post it. If you do have more of it then maybe i could get you to email it
to me. Thanks
O.M.G. don't work on it with the C pillar trim unprotected LOL. I like to
take my major engine jobs to the car wash to pressure wash/clean prior to
working on them, I'm a picky s.o.b. that doesn't like to get dirty too
quickly.
where do you live? Im thinking about getting an mr2 with a blown head
gasket and need help replacing it. If you could help me that would be
awesome! I dont mind compensating you either. I live in Ontario canada
@clube20 The engine is amazing. I was amazed the car started and ran with
the blown head gasket. On the drive to my friend's garage where we did the
work, water was spurting out the tail pipe!
its not that they blow the head gasket, its that the gasket just rots away
almost always on the last piston. even like that these engines keep going
and going, amazing.
how did you get the valve covers off, i am having trouble with mine, thanks
if you reply, or if anyone tells me how to take the valve cover's off of a
1986 toyota Mr2,
It only cost about $150, but it was really helpful having my friend's
help/garage to work in. If I had to do it again, it would probably go
faster and be easier.
