Bump for answer. The block looks fine to me but the head looks too rough in uneducated my opinion...

Head pressure tested fine, are either of these deck surfaces remotely acceptable for a cometic MLS head gasket?

Cylinder #3 for the lose...

Haha I remember when you told me you had that car. Stupid me. Guess I didn't think I'd have been able to jump on the trans swap so quickly. Side note, go chiefs

No wet carpet that I've noticed. My first thoughts were the turbo water flange, would explain the smell and absence of visible fluid (flashed off from the heat). Dad's convinced it couldn't be the heater core and I can't tell him otherwise, and I've read it's a mess to get to. 18lbs is...

Well I'm not giving up on mine yet, but I'm definitely still getting air in the cooling system. Checked all my hoses, no white smoke/coolant stink from exhaust, apparently normal amount of condensation on the oil cap. Next step will be a block tester I guess. Still runs and drives great after...

Car will be back in Fayetteville in the spring! Keeping it off the salt for the winter. Cruise sounds awesome, would love to meet some more proud owners in the area. Only one I've seen around is yours.

^Seems the correct length for a bellhousing bolt, I'll need to replace the eye on the free end first lol

Where does this go? Found it duct taped to where the fuel lines begin to show at bottom of firewall.

Agree on waiting for a low mile supra and getting a cheap daily. Even my rebuilt 92 has turned me into a hypochondriac, worrying about it constantly. Also the whole "staying out of boost" thing doesn't really exist, don't let anyone fool you. ^Car looks clean though! Love the color, if you...

LOL ok now it's blown Also either the builder didn't do a very good job on my valve stem seals or my fluttery bpv blew my turbo seals, she's been smoking (not like it matters now)

While I'm updating, last month I picked up a full 3 inch exhaust with magnaflow muffler and hks style dp for $100 total, and just bought a ruined r154 to rebuild over break for a swap hopefully next summer!

False alarm, condensation in the exhaust was exaggerated by the cold weather and my disappearing coolant might be the water in/outlet at the turbo, which must be burning and making its usual frightening stank. Arp bolts torqued to arp specs on what I assume is an oem hg. No overheating, but...

5000 mi on rebuild bye bye felpro headgasket 9-10+ psi (off the stock gauge) from the cold weather pushed it too hard

With the car done and on its 3rd oil change (running beautifully) and summer coming to an end, I picked up another project at the end of July for something more practical than the Toyota to get around at school. Purchased locally for $125 lol Ready to go back in All done
