    Also, if you replaced that gasket during a build, most gasket sets come with a paper gasket for it (fel-pro included). It blows....literally. OEM is some sort of metallic material.

    Supra vs Ford GT on Forum Wars

    You better have a whole lot more than a million to own a Veyron... There are better cars that have less upkeep on them for that price (plus are faster in more than a straight line)

    Could a blown HKS head gasket be a cause of running lean?

    Check fuel pressure and check if the wideband is still functioning correctly.

    I does indeed sound like a tick if it's the cooler leaking.

    Eh, could be worse, try a Miata... (easiest way I've found is to go in through the wheel well, but it still sucks) 7M-GTE is cake: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=LU&P=5

    Yeah, lots of modern cars can get away with being slopping since there's tons of techno-gadgetry to handle bias on the fly.

    Nipping it in the bud the RIGHT WAY

    Or all the tapped holes decide to strip out... Live and learn (and then park the car for a few years in frustration, sigh...)

    Nipping it in the bud the RIGHT WAY

    No spray from the factory ;) But yes, have the head checked for hardness and warpage. If you're pushing coolant out the overflow when you rev at idle you've probably run the head dry several times :(

    So is it wrong...

    Could be worse, could have one as President... Oh wait...

    Nipping it in the bud the RIGHT WAY

    Yes, you should use FIPG on the areas indicated in the TSRM. No, you don't have to use copper spray on the headgasket. Green and Red coolant won't cause issues together like some others can. As you're pushing coolant out, you're uncovering the temp sensors and creating hotspots in the head as...

    Yeah, the ABS system will mask any issues in the brake bias. Vehicles are tuned to lock the front up first from the factory, but once you start changing things, all bets are off. Rear lockup is scary shit in an emergency situation. My old truck had a system that adjusted rear braking on the...
