    Is this a BHG? (videos inside)

    My 87 TT does exactly the same thing. Tryied all the same things you have done - no help. It is a blown HG though not severe. The combustion gasses boil the coolant forcing it out I have noticed that once the coolent level has droped down to a level about 2 to 3 inches from the filler neck...

    Moving to Orlando Area?

    Just moved from Orlando back to Atlanta. Orlando does have its good points however you had better like big time HEAT. From end of MAY till end of Sept. the temp will be in the 90s or more with humidity to match. Atlanta still has 4 seasons which I like unlike Orlando which has 2 - short...

    Cooling issues continue...

    This diagnosis is right on the money, mine does the same thing. I have noticed that it occurs less when the heater valve is closed. Also if the system is slightly low on coolant it is not as bad either. I have to continue to drive this thing till my new engine is finished. A slight leak of...

    What is it you like about Supras?

    For myself, and my 87 TT - is like the very smooth ride,the incredibly smooth engine (think this is due to the inline 6 confg.) the weight of the car gives it a very very, good ride, the options in the car are 15-20 years ahead of its time. The engine although not that strong strong hp wise...

    ARP rod & main bolt question

    I am still collecting parts for my rebuild. Would like this thing to be fairly strong mechanicly (shooting for 350-400 whp). If you replace the rod bolts do the rods have to be resized? I know changes in main cap bolts they should be line bored. Are the ARP rod bolts a good invesment seems...

    Newb in the MK3 Forums, Should I buy an MK3?

    From what I have seen the interiors hold up better than average compaired to say Nissan or Honda. Except for the weak stock head gasket the engine is VERY robust. With new high tech head gaskets and bolts or studs head gasket is no longer a problem. My 87 turbo targa was stone stock and now...

    #4 main bearing cap "stuck"

    That worked fine with the other caps but the #4 is blocked in by the counter weights which will make it hard to get to. Also the the dip stick guide is in the way--- Will try lifting the crank see what happens.

    Just finishing up the teardown on a JDM 7mgte. I got to the main bearing caps to remove the crank and cap #4 (the one with the thrust washer) refused to come loose. (yes the bolts are out). I don't want to pound it or risk stricking the crank etc. Whats the best way to disloge this...

    JDM engine rebuild questions??

    I have just begun the rebuild of a JDM 7M-GTE purchased off Ebay. After the teardown must say all looks very good. The head gasket was a stopper type with stock head bolts but showed no signs whatever of leakage. I have purchased an HKS metal head gasket and ARP studs to put it back together...
