Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's included in this complete package?
A: This package includes: (1) AMC complete loaded cylinder head assembly with camshaft, valves, springs, guides, seats, and pre-chambers pre-installed, (2) Complete set of 4 genuine Toyota glow plugs, (3) High-performance head stud set with 18 studs, hardened washers, 12-point nuts, and installation lube, and (4) Complete engine gasket set with 50+ gaskets and seals including head gasket, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, manifold gaskets, turbo gaskets, EGR gaskets, crankshaft seals, valve stem seals, and all auxiliary sealing components.

Q: Is the cylinder head ready to install, or does it require machine work?
A: The cylinder head comes pre-assembled (loaded) with camshaft, valves, springs, guides, seats, and pre-chambers already installed. However, professional inspection is recommended to verify deck surface flatness and valve seat condition before installation. Most installations can proceed without additional machining if the head arrives in good condition.

Q: Why are head studs better than factory head bolts?
A: Head studs provide superior clamping force and maintain consistent torque values better than factory stretch bolts. Factory bolts are designed for one-time use and can stretch or loosen under high heat and pressure conditions. Head studs are reusable, provide even load distribution, and are essential for turbocharged applications or engines running higher boost levels.

Q: Are these glow plugs compatible with both early and late 1KZ-TE engines?
A: Yes, the genuine Toyota glow plug set (19850-67030) is compatible with all 1KZ-TE turbo diesel engines from 1993-2009. These are direct OEM replacements that meet factory heat range and fitment specifications.

Q: Does the gasket set include everything needed for a complete engine rebuild?
A: This gasket set includes all sealing components for a complete engine rebuild, including head gasket, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, manifold gaskets, turbo gaskets, EGR gaskets, crankshaft seals, valve stem seals, water pump gasket, thermostat gasket, and various O-rings. However, hardware components like head studs (included in this package), timing belt, water pump, and oil pump are separate components that should be replaced during rebuild.

Q: What other components should I replace during cylinder head replacement?
A: Professional mechanics recommend replacing the timing belt kit (including tensioner, idler pulleys, and water pump), oil pump, thermostat, coolant hoses, and having the turbocharger inspected or rebuilt during major cylinder head service. This prevents future failures and ensures maximum service life from your rebuild investment.

Additional Components You May Need

• Timing Belt Kit (13568-69085) - Essential replacement during cylinder head service to prevent catastrophic failure
• Water Pump (16100-69356) - Recommended replacement during major engine work
• Oil Pump Assembly - Consider replacement on high-mileage engines during rebuild
• Thermostat and Housing - Replace to ensure proper cooling system operation
• Engine Oil and Coolant - Fresh fluids are essential for adequate break-in and operation

 

Common Symptoms Requiring Cylinder Head Replacement

• Coolant mixing with engine oil creates a characteristic milky appearance in the oil
• White smoke from the exhaust indicates coolant combustion in the cylinders
• Overheating and rapid coolant loss without visible external leaks
• Loss of compression across one or multiple cylinders
• Excessive pressure buildup in the cooling system (bulging hoses, radiator cap release)
• Rough turbo diesel operation with misfiring or poor performance
• Hard starting or difficult cold-weather starting (glow plug-related)
• Visible cracks or warpage on the existing cylinder head during inspection
• Failed head gasket from overheating or improper previous installation
