Welcome to the forum. Here's my take on the HG issue. Many Supras are fixed on the cheap, and when you cut corners on the HG issue, you might have to redo it. So do it right, do it once (I've never had to redo the HG in any of my Supras). Better yet, read up on how to do it right, and then buy a...

Re: your oil pressure. How many miles on the motor and what oil type/weight are you running? Do you trust your oil gauge? I know I've seen very little oil pressure at idle, and even lower after the engine oil is getting ready for a change. So if you dont trust your oil pressure gauge, maybe get...
