1992 Toyota Camry XV10 Valve Problem and Fix 3VZ-FE

This is a Camry that my friend picked up. It was not working when he bought it. Compression tested and found that cylinder 1 had little to no compression. Pulled off the cylinder head to find a bent valve. The valve spring broke and the cam pushed it into the piston. Put a whole new valve train in it (valves, valve seals, springs). Also put in new head gaskets, timing belt, accessory belts, and head cover seals. Runs mint now.

I'm curious about something. It's probably too long to remember but when you attached the rear firewall cylinder head, did you mount it with the exhaust manifold already attached like the front cylinder head?

Thanks for this. Can you tell me where you got the headlights from?

In the process of putting mine back together. That rear side is a pain, lol.

how much time it takes you to do the work yourself?
I'm doing the same with mine

What's the part numbers for the head gasket bolts? How many do you need? Been trying to find them on toyota's parts catalogue but I'm at a loss...
