Well, if that acceleration video was made after your first start, then you're bangin on all cylinders.

I do, I'm sure I can secure it somehow. I'm pretty crafty
First Blown Headgasket on 1/1/14
Great way to start off the year, going to try to sell a few things I have lying around if I can find anything worth money and get an ARP kit

oh thats no good:/
Oh, I got a lot more replies than I had thought.
Hoping my gasket going out didn't cause a rod knock, I've never heard one in person so I don't know what they sound like but my engine certainly sounded a lot different with the headgasket going out (Which is expected, so I'm trying to think positive. Oil levels were fine, and to my knowledge that's what would cause a rod knock, my engine did get hot when my headgasket went out, didn't notice my heat spike)
I have noticed that, but I'm still standing firm behind my decision to give up formal relationships and drop all my money into this car, even with it's bitchy moody attitude it's better than both of my serious two year relationships
Yea, terrible timing too because I just got fired on Christmas Eve and gave all my money to my mom to save the storage shed that had my dads ashes in it.
Lady Luck is certainly busy with someone else lately
Yupyup! Messed with the timing a little bit, that was a few days after my first start.supraguy@aol;1982526 said:Well, if that acceleration video was made after your first start, then you're bangin on all cylinders.

You can also get rod knock from coolant getting in your oil.... And you would know if you had it because usually around 2500rpm it sounds like there is a wrench banging around in your oil pan

I'll take your word for it and cross my fingers, I don't believe it sounded like that but I'm not driving until it's fixed, so I can't go test drive it to check the sound.
Love her too much, and love having a 7M too much to abuse either of them.

Oh, absolutely it is!! Now imagine having a Supra and a mk1 VW...... there goes all of the free time, free money, and mental energy for problem solving....
i know with all the stuff ive had to do with my car, ive spent FAR more time with my car then i have with my last ex.. lol.. shes my one and only girl in my life right now.. (eventhough she has a temper right now)
After owning my first silver one I honestly can't go through my day to day life without owning one and be happy enough to be functional.
The story behind why I own one, plus how much I love the feel of driving one, I literally need to have my Supra.
The three months between the silver one and my current white one was absolute hell.

I just recently blew a head gasket on my Supra that I had just purchased for 800 bucks a few weeks prior, the p.o. didn't have any form of filtration on the intake and there was no radiator fan to speak of. I was only going to pull the head and put a composite gasket on it and call it a day but, the members here highly recommended that I pull the motor and give some attention to the bottom end. I'm sure glad I listened because there is at least 3-4 large metal flakes on my oil pick up, no telling how much in the oil I drained and, sludge just caked in the bottom of the pan. I didn’t have any contamination in the oil either but it was filled with water and it probably evaporated without me ever knowing it was there.
I'm taking my time with the rebuild; with 2 Mustangs and an F-250 on top of the Supra I have my hands full. Luckily my girlfriend also likes cars so she understands when I have no money. The trick is to take her out on Saturday nights.
