Anyone close to valparaiso want to help me finish getting my car back together??

Well good news for now my brothers buddy had some kinda test where you add dye to something to detect the presence of exhaust gas in the coolant and it didn't change color. So as of now hes in the clear. He brought the car over and i took the cap off started it up and nothing spilled over. We...

alright well then its probably going to be for sale :( wish i had the money its clean. Thanks guys for everything.

Update: I gave my brother a couple of the tips you guys suggested and he tried taking the cap off the radiator and letting it run and it did start to over flow. But he says he hasn't noticed any of the other signs no white smoke no sweet smelling exhaust no oil in the coolant no coolant on the...

Thanks I appreciate the suggestion I will give that a try and update everyone after I do so.

Also my brother said the car is making bubbling sounds again like it did before the head gasket went. Is that a common sign or should we just keep and eye on the oil and the coolant to make sure neither is in the other?

No we torqued the head to 72 lbs like recommended. Is the coolant flowing out of the overfill tube something to worry about or might it just be that there is still air in the lines.

I guess now the question is if the gasket is going to hold and how long he used a fel pro head gasket kit. I'm pretty sure they say if you are not going to do any machining that this is the way to go is this correct.

No it was just outside of the cylinder between the coolant ports and the cylinder wall. I just did a search and found that it does happen. I know you should get the block resurfaced as well as the head and that's why I tried convincing him to wait but hes a budget guy because of his wife.

I helped replace the head gasket on my brothers supra and while doing it i noticed the block had some pitting around the number 5 cylinder. I tried convincing him to wait until I found some info out but he wouldn't. Has anyone ever seen the block actually pitted from a blown head gasket? Also he...

LOL she probably said that too but i was meaning the car. Makes me angry

Well i just figured id get on here and tell you guys the story i have been a supra lover for a long time and a couple years back before i even knew anything about cars the head gasket gave on my black supra and i ended up having to sell it so i sold it to some guy who assured me the car would be...

Hey thanks for the respond actually its not my car at all and i assumed my bro had checked all of the common things but i got over there and took it out of the dash and it was a loose power wire but thanks for getting to me quickly. I went over there and was just happy to get back into a supra...
