Ok, The head is coming off my engine (Toyota)(It is a long story and I will tell all soon).

The old trick with 4-AGE engine was to stick in a 3-5mm head gasket and bottom line get more power. Will this work on the 2ZZGE?

It maybe a long story, but this is turning into long day. So tell all.

No idea about the Gasket idea, if you did do it, would it be okay under the warranty ?

Lets just say that the warranty is not the support you would expect and at the end of the day it will expire in 9k miles (about 5 months).

I cant find any reference to any mods apart from air filters and spark plugs on the fensport site.

I have a 111R. The problem isnt the head gasket, the big end is a little "unwell" and a con rod has to be changed so off with the head. It is a very long story (almost 7 weeks) when it is complete I will tell all.
