when i did my compression test i took the plugs out as I went and left them out. Doesn't matter anyhow i know i got a BHG based on that amount of burnt coolant.

Yea it doesn't sound like you and I have the same problems. I'm almost sure I have a BHG, where as you have loads of coolant problems except for burning the coolant. Be happy you don't have a BHG... lol

Thanks, Where do you reccommend finding head bolts? I really appreciate all this help.

Is your compression good when engine is cold and warm? i havent had a chance to compression test with engine warm due to time and the fact its burning so much coolant. Are you just putting a small puff of coolant smoke out when starting or are you activly burning coolant? Once the engine is...

That sounds like the best idea to me. Most shops shouldn't charge much to do the inspection + possible straightening right? The engine has around 90K miles on it by the way. My hesitation about starting the head gasket job is the fact I have never personally pulled an engine apart other than my...

s some of you might know I have a 7m-ge swapped into my 85. It also has a BHG (with good compression to boot), and winter is coming. I am wondering if there are any tips you guys might offer me on what I need to do to get the car able to sit for a winter without damage (coolant buildup in cyl...

thanks for both of your ideas, when I get a chance I'll check those options. I know its most likely a head gasket but I really just want to make sure. Even more so since the compression is good on the engine when cold. I would do a warm compression test but considering how bad the burning of the...

Well I finally got all the stuff put back onto the engine and the distrbuiter timing set properly. The car was running seemingly fine. I took it for a quick drive around the block to let it heat up, and by the time i got back i noticed the same idle issue and burning coolant. Stopped the car...

Nothing major in the oil that I could tell (it looked like new ish oil (less than 1000Miles on it so its still pretty clean). I assume the coolants coming from the intake. Once I get out of work tonight I plan on finishing the intake install and bypassing the manifold coolant lines. Then i will...

I am in the process of doing all those things. All of which are helpful information. I have a quick question though. When I did the compression test the engine was not warmed up at all. It had been sitting for a few days (with the intake off and distributer, so i couldnt have the engine warm up...

I have almost no intention of driving this car after snow starts falling. First off, as you know, Supra's have a lovely traction problem in the rain, let alone snow (even more so in a MK2 not mk3 due to weight, but y'all know that lol). and Second off, I wanna keep Rochester's excessive use of...

so basically check or bypass the coolant lines going into the manifold? the guy i got the engine from said that the coolant lines running through the manifold that you mentioned were essentially useless unless it was winter (something about keeping the manifold the right temp so its not too cold...

Well.... I finally finished the compression test (replaced starter that died). All cyl check out great. They were at 155PSI +-3 Psi. They did not leak out any pressure (i let each sit for over 45 seconds). Based on this I am really starting to think my headgasket is alright. What else would be...

Hey I posted this over on celicasupra.com since i have a 7m-ge in my MK2 and reciveved good information, however im curious about a few things that people who have more 7m-ge knowledge would be able to help me with. This was my posting over at cs.com When i got the 7M-GE installed in my car I...
