Ive been searching all day for a detailed repair manual to change a head gasket. I really dont want to pay for the repair manual. Does anybody have the repair manual to change a head gasket?

search for 95 supra repair manual, its floating around somewhere. you want the engine section for 2JZ-GE and its the same as a sc300 is.

If I can make any suggestions it would be to buy a box of ziplock bags with the zippers ( just easier when wearing gloves ) and label all the bolts and braces, brackets, plugs etc that you take off. This will help for reassembly time and you wont have spare parts. In a nutshell, its fairly straight forward..

its like a bigger much nicer pointing the correct way celica motor. you should be fine. just note the torque sequence for removing installing the cams and heabolts. if you do not follow that you either warp the cams cause they are so long and just waiting to warp, or you bend the head cause its aluminum. It's pretty rare that someone does that but if you do not follow the procedure at all it can happen.

Either should be fine, I know that eristic is cheaper. If you are truly concerned, you can't go wrong with OEM Toyota. I have a brand new Eristic one if you're interested. PM me for a cheap price.
