Just saw how much of a PITA it is to take the oil pan off. Any idea what to check before i resort to doing that? Read somewhere that it can also be cause by low clearances?

Lol, guess we should cover that....assumptions could be evil.

Read your reply wrong. Get a multi meter and measure the resistances and current. Values should be in a haynes manual somewhere. if you dont got one, get one. Its your new bible.

Yes :P Changing it again this Thursday to make sure all the bad stuff is out.

Check to see if its getting fuel.

Check your timing? Not positive, but on my Celicas atleast, if you didnt put the distro back in the same exact position your firing will be off. Make sure you are getting spark. Take out a plug, ground the threads to the block, have a friend turn it over and see if it sparks. Do this for each...

Drove the Supra for the first time. Has some Oil Pressure issues and is leaking coolant somewhere. Forgot to add: Needs brakes, tie rod, alignment, tires..........lol. And so the money shoveling begins!

When you get the head back on, dont be shocked that its going to be pouring white smoke. Mine did it at least for 10 miles after. Had to get rid of what was left.

Will get a video when i get off work.

Knocking is the wrong word. Its ticking/clicking. Idleing, as in stopsigns, lights, etc. while driving. Only when i first start it after sitting do i have no clicking/tapping/w.e and good pressure. until i start driving.

Just changed the head gasket and am having an oil pressure issue which is leading to a knocking. After sitting off for an hour or more, the engine knocks for a second at start up and the oil pressure goes to around 40 during the idle. After i take it out onto the road, Pressure lowers to...

Took it on a 120 mile trip. The bads: Brakes need to be replaced. Needs new tires Needs an alignment Needs a tierod Also need to figure out why i have such low oil pressure. Any ideas?

IT IS RUNNING..............AND LEAKING ANTIFREEZE WOO. -.- First like was because of a missing clamp going from the bottom of the thermostat housing to the head/block area. Fixed that and now its leaking somewhere else and I can't pinpoint it. But it looks like its leaking less and less so...

Getting 89- moldings that are in great shape. I live next to a car wash, so Im making sure salt isnt getting inside these things, atleast not for long. Well, would have had it running last night, but my stupid ass dropped and lost a crush washer for the fuel line. Toyota didnt even have em in...

LOL, Yea, we flipped the head upside down and we're cleaning the face, and we kept hearing "clunks" We turned it over and saw all the washer, so we had to dig around under the cam for the ones that didnt make it out all the way. Moldings I'm getting are staying black, i love the contrast...

Head is back on with the new HG. Hopefully running this time tomorrow. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1389434&postcount=23

Finally got some work done on the Supra tonight. Been working so much lately its been getting done little by little. Head has been removed and reinstalled with the new gasket. Cylinders look pretty decent, can't complain much. Could be better, but meh. Bassically all there is now is to...
