So im going to attempt to change the head and the head gasket on me tr in the next few days... but i need to get a few tools first...

does anyone know where i can pick up a torque wrench, a timing light and a set of portable ramps?

also is there anything else i should know before i attempt this?

cheers, Rob

dont really need ramps unless you want to do the timing chains
where the sump comes off
if a 4 cylinder
timing chain release tool for the oil pump
