This is a good link, it tells how the water ways in the 3s head and 5s block don't quite match but with a head gasket from ATS for about $160 you can get round this. it's a pity the photos have gone, definitely worth a read. unfortunately there's no mention of oil squirters. http://www.mr2oc.com/showthread.php?t=3 ... ht=stroker

Take it to mr2....developments. It'll make 100bhp(at least)less than they tell you it's making :lol:

Edit: sorry, I usually keep the snide remark for those who warrant them but seriously, you cannot buy a car and have it maintained by mr2 embarrassments then have a go at Pacific Works.....

Just drill the block to match chosen head gasket. Easy.
