[FLYNLO]

ok, my RB20DET, has blown its head gasket, my friend knows how to fix it, so im not worried abot getting the job done. but i want to know while im doing this, is it worth buying new cam's, and is there anything else i should do to the engine while im there.....im goin to be drifting it, so can anyone suggest what i should do..or where i should take it?????....

cams are easy to do....so wait if you don't have the cash. Go a 3 piece metal head gasket from JUN on greeline.jp site.

In the mean time there is a $3 product called silver seal from Repco that actually works! will seal up the leak for a few months given low boost.

Silver seal is better than the old Chemiweld?

I've had great success with chemiweld in the past.

I woudl do some research and consider changing your compression with an aftermarket headgasket. If you were purchasing cams, a rocker arm stopper kit would be a good idea also.

Port & Polish, heavy duty valve springs.

You want to keep the compression high if you'r using it for drifting.

No rocker arm's in the RB's.

I tried Chemiweld 3 times to no avail, silverseal has worked every time however.

Cheerz.

I'll give it a go on a VL that has a cracked head. Chemi weld for this one is kind of working. not really.

Coming from an MA70 Supra background i know all too well about the dreaded head gasket and what to do when you blow one.

It's really important that you make sure your head and block are perfectly straight/flat so get them machined otherwise you'll be blowing more headgaskets in no time.

Also, since you've now blown one and need to fix it, why not look at aftermarket metal head gasket options that are available to you, they're infinitely stronger and should you plan on modifying down the track it would be ideal to do it now.

Good head/block prep is crucial when fixing blown head gaskets imo.
