I need opinions on what to do homies. I think I've noticed some signs of a bhg.
What do you guys think? have it tested? Should I take it to toyota to have it fixed or my mechanic?
The car has never overheated before so I think the head is fine, well I hope. With my tax return I going to have the hg fixed. I should have it in a few weeks
- That stupid bird cage of doom light keeps coming on about 2-3 weeks after I put more coolant in the overflow tank.
- I hear the "waterfall" behind the passenger seat dash but only when the car is cold and on start up after sitting awhile
- I check the oil often between oil changes, noticed it was a quart low. after returning back from O'riellys, opened the oil cap and noticed smoke from underneath the cap. On my last oil change I told them to check the oil for discoloration and they told me it looked fine
- twice I've noticed coolant coming out of the overflow tank. I don't know if this is from overfilling it or not.

If you have a rough (cold) start, and puffing white smoke at start up and runs like shit. then those are signs of a BHG. (2) the waterfall noise it nothing, its just air bubbles caught in your coolant lines (all supras do that). And when you do pour in more coolant, dont always pour all in the over flow tank, por directly into the radiator. Hollar at me if you need help with the HG job. # is 479-430-8073 - Mong
also, i would advise you doing a MHG job for insuarance anways. DO it when your ready, not when your unexpecting it to blow and leave you stranded.

Well i had rough starts, then i re-torqued the head and re-did the timing(the timing was off by 5 degrees) and now it starts up perfect and runs even stronger. but yeah i also got the water noises too..same wat mk3_dude said, its air bubbles in the system..you gotta burb it. as for the oil...ur 7m is probably burnin oil or else its leakin from somewhere..check around the engine. againa like mk3_dude said if you aint got a mhg, put one in...better safe than sorry.
STeps to get rid of waterfall
Drain and flush coolant system. (drain as normal, keep your petcock open and just run fresh water through it, you may need to stop the flow of water to get the thermostat to open up but slowly add water as soon as it opens or it may over-heat) After that fill it up and what no. Then change out your radiator cap.

what do you think about the smoke from under the oil cap? I'm flushing the radiatior this weekend. thanks for the tips/advice guys!
Totally normal, almost every car will do it. Hot oil tends to smoke. Fix: Don't open your oil-cap while your motor is hot, dont see it smoking, feel good about it.
On my post about the waterfall... i put the radiator cap at the end, in truth it should be at the begining, its really the thing that stops it usually, just a cheap 5 dollar one from auto-zone should do.
