speaking of head gaskets if running 75mm pistons do the aftermarket steel headgasket make 75mm or do the 74mm standerd size do all
as above, im running 75mm weisco pistons and cant decide what headgasket to use, weather standard or uprated.. i put a standard one on mine (BGA) and within 3 weeks it did this....

Dude I had the same problem got a new head gasket set rebuilt the head and put it all back together using standard torque settings on the head but 1 weekend later head gasket went (prob running a bit lean on new turbo setup)...
Wondering if it was def because of running lean or because should have used higher torque settings on the head that the gasket went...Was Camskill headgasket set I think.
Was actually a TM Developments set.

so looking at the previous few posts if running higher power would it not be adviseable to get an aftermarket HG such as TRD to make sure?
Out of interest anybody else had bad experience with TM Developments head gaskets?
PS just had a look at the above part numbers and i dont see 4efte?

iv just got off the phone with my local toyota dealer, and he has looked and it gives two different part numbers for the 4efe and the 4efte engines???
hes also told me that the Turbo HG are thicker and stronger than a 4EFE gasket.
so there are two different gaskets.
In the above information i cannot see any 4EFTE part numbers??

Well it would make sense to have a stronger gasket for the turbo, due to the extra heat and pressures generated...
I am thinking a thick TRD 4EFTE jobbie is going to have to be the way forward, just to make sure.
I also have a feeling that when the head gasket went I also lost a piston ring, anyone know the part numbers for these, and if you can get uprated ones, or buy them individually?? (i doubt it, but worth asking..)

trd gaskets are thinner, its all to do with your comp ratio,boost pressures etc

Well I have a suspicion I was running lean due to not turning up fuel pressure enough with new hybrid setup & not having enough time to get to a RR for setting up...engine didnt go bang but there was a horrendous grinding ticking noise which I suspect is the piston rubbing up against the cylinder..
I was surprised when I got the head off to find that the new head gasket had gone, but I dont think that is what caused that noise, although it would explain the compression loss.
