Eh. i never heard of the misprint, but you are correct, i have taken apart a few 7m’s in my day (im no expert on them) but 80% of them the head bolts were loose upon dis assembly. also the stock head gaskets are junk. end of story. when you take it apart and it still has the factory gasket it will most likely look like a distorted piece of mush you shit out after a long night of drinking. the updated headgasket isn’t really that great either, from what i have seen/experienced the “HKS Stopper” head gasket is the best solution (fucking expensive). and a torque of 25ft lbs first pass, 2nd pass a 90* turn, third pass another 90* turn (in sequence obviously) Also the deck surface on 7m’s is known to warp / crack I have personally seen this more than once. I am not trying or scare you from the car just stating what i have seen. make sure it runs good, might want to do a compression check and thorough look over before buying look for intermix etc. if you buy it check the head bolt torques for piece of mind. and if you end up popping it. buy a 1j, they can be had relatively cheap now and are WAY more reliable. Good luck!

Exactly what he said. You can def pick up a 1jz swapped car on Supramania for a decent price.
