In agreement with Sawbladz. It's most likely your J-Tube if you haven't bypassed or drilled it. I'd recommend just bypassing it to take it out of the equation all together. Do a search for J-Tube (or jtube) bypass and you should find plenty of info on this. Aftermarket FPR's flow much more and...

Regardless of when the HG was replaced, I'd retorque the head anyway. In all likelihood, it could probably use it. It's a safe form of insurance as then at least you'll know that the bolts are torqued to a safe point and that the head is evenly torqued on all bolts. Wish I knew this when I...

If he's got a 255 LPH fuel pump, I'd start there. I know that with the J-Tube in place you could get a serious flooding issue if it's not bypassed. That could be what's mucking up your problem. Check to see if the J-Tube is still in line. If it is, I'd look into either performing a J-tube bypass...

Thanks, I'll consider it. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it at this point as my first concern was getting wheels by this weekend. My parents have been kind enough to lend me a vehicle to get me around this week, but I've got to have some solution in place by Monday. As far as...

I'm not giving up on Supra's, just this particular engine, which is about the only thing I was going to transfer over to a new shell. If it was just smoke without the oil contamination, I wouldn't be too worried and would whole heartedly work towards fixing the problem. However, unless it's fuel...

Yeah, double checked it last night. White foam, milky oil steamy exhaust. I don't think fuel in the oil would foam, though I do think it smells a bit like gas and considered a possible faulty or dirty injector, so I could be getting gas contamination as well. Personally, I'm thinking cracked...

Lemme guess, ummm pressure test right?

Yeah, I agree, I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth me spending another 30 bucks on oil and filter and an hour of my time. Every extra dollar could be going toward a rebuilt engine. I'm pretty sure that if the turbo is not the issue, it is most likely a cracked block or head of which I...

Did you jumper your Diag port? If you cross over two of the terminals on the Diag plug, your engine light will blink out any codes it has recorded. Granted, codes are only going to be stored for as long as the ECU has power, if you pull a fuse or disconnect the battery for more than a couple of...

Didn't try smelling the smoke, but sure as hell looked like coolant, that and the oil cap foam was enough for me to call it quits for the day. I was late for work and had already been up for 36 hours straight at that point. I'm going to take another look at it again today when I have the chance...

Yeah, a crack is what I'm afraid of which is why I won't do another gasket on this one if it is indeed an internal leak. As far as the 120 ft pounds, I've heard of plenty of people cranking up this high on our engines, especially when running high boost. Now I'm not running higher than stock nor...

I had a similar issue that turned out to be one of the posts on the battery. I think a grounding or other electrical connection would definately be the first places I'd look. Completely clean your battery contacts and ensure a good connection with the posts without corrosion. Same goes for the...

Did not overheat. It was running great other than I started blowing white smoke. I waited to drain the oil until I had torqued the head down. Then after draining it, poured about half a quart over the cams and let it drain. Filled her up with 5 quarts of standard 10w30 planning on eventually...

Yeah, about as fun as a BHG.

:1zhelp: Ok guys, I need a little sage wisdom here. As I know coolant lines run through the turbo as well as the oil lines, I was wondering if there would be a situation where a crack could form in the turbo that could cause BHG symptoms. If it's not, then I'm afraid I'm going to have to get...
