Coolant Reservoir Bubbling and Filling Up.

Nothing in this life is free lol.

 

Seems i got same issue now ...
one question , when you replace head gasket , did they polishing the head to make it smooth ?
Heard lots of when head gasket broken , will made head deformation .....

 

Hey

For FIPG , can use this to instead ?

 

I had toyota do the head gaskets and they machined the heads. Timing is just fine and i got my power back.

It is a big job so i let toyota handle it. Plus they gave me a free loaner car.

 

Thats good news !!

 

expensive but the truck has been solid ever since

 

Yes , hope mine can be back have no any issue .

 

i have put 2400 miles on it in the last 2 weeks and have had no issues.. yet ha

 

Thats good !

 

I used Ultra Grey on timing cover when I did my head gasket last year
No leaks after 15,000 mikes
Just clean surfaces extremely well and use a thin layer on both sides, allow to dry overnight.

 

Noted and thanks for your feedback ^^

 

What is the conversion rate of Mikes to Miles?

 

I think should be Miles XDDD

 

When you say "machined", you are referring to valves and ports, not actually milling the surface.... right? Hopefully.

 

If it's mean milling the surface , will get any impact about this ?

 

Not exactly sure... I assumed toyota knew what they were doing..

 

Toyota has specs as to how much can be milled off a cylinder head if it falls within that spec there are zero issues.

 

Just want to cast another vote in favor of replacing head gaskets on the early 4.0s. Mine ('05) took me several weeks of part time effort in my driveway, and I also took the heads in for a valve job at a machine shop. Not sure if they resurfaced them, or just reseated the valves, but compression went up to by about 10 psi per cylinder, to 180-188 psi -- and crucially, there are no more bubbles in the coolant! I also got new head bolts, new hoses, a new radiator, a new water pump, a new thermostat, and new gaskets for everything I disassembled. And it all cost $thousands less than the lowest bid I got from a shop, even after buying some specialty tools and a big-ass impact driver. The trade-off was enduring day after day of hellish physical labor and crushing self-doubt throughout the entire process.

I used the Toyota black FIPG around all the oil seals, and blue Permetex around the water passages, since the Toyota spec'd coolant-compatible sealant was prohibitively expensive. I have had zero leaks since.

 

Well done! I am glad this post is helping people!

 

X2 well done bro!!!!!
