I recently acquired a 90gst and it needs to have the head replaced, which I also have and my question is can I get it resurfaced and cleaned or does a head with 133k miles on it need seals etc replaced also?

Keep budget in mind haha I just want to get this baby running but I dont want to be kicking myself later.

 

In my opinion if you just want the car to get the job done(AtoB driving).I would just use a razer blade scraper thingy to get the old HG matierial off then, Shin it up with some 1500 grit sand paper and break cleaner, and get a new gasket. Get a felpro their cheap and get the job done. If the TBT and T-belt are old, I would spend the cash for new one's,along with some new head bolts. The tentioner is about the same price at AZ and mitsu. And you can get a gator belt at AZ for cheap too. If you know the head is good slap that bad boy on and go. But if your going to be modding I would do it the right way, but it costs more money.

 

Timing belt and everything was done not to long ago, I ordered the oem gasket and was going to just have the head resurfaced and pressure checked.

 

So I guess you're all good to go then...

 

check the head with a straight edge for warpage and if it isnt i dont see getting it shaved but if you do shave it you might have to go with a medal head gasket cause its going to bring the thickness down just an idea, ive done 2 heads my self its hard at all

 

by the way i just bought a gasket set and i have the oem valve selas if you need them lmk
