My friend and i installed a brand new head and gasket on my 91 yota 4x4. We still have to do my timing chain cover, ( which along with the chain are also new). Well, we spaced the liquid sealer on the front corners of the block, like chiltons `advises`, put on the gasket and torqued the bolts down.
My question, can this last more then temporary like some suggest...ie. will it be fine, or did my friend who has done hundreds of head gaskets ( mostly dodge), and i screw up and have to start over with a new gasket.
Can i still use the brand new head bolts that we torqued down but never ran the truck on, ie. unheated ?
You can call me stumped instead of skilled if you must
