    stupid cheap ebay gaskets

    I don't know which kit that you bought but my guess would be the amount of ft lbs that you had the HG torqued to. I think it was 75lbs that the head was suppose to be torqued down. But i dont remember the exact number so dont quote me but i know 58 lbs was the factory spec from toyota.

    Looking to buy a supra.

Of course with the 7m, you should also want to purchase one that has a head gasket job done. For that price range i'd be...

    no im not plannin on stealing the supra

    I'd say you check to see 1st to cover your case. To see if the car is a stolen car or anything that can put you in deep trouble. I'd pick up a nice shell but w.o paper work..there is really no point.

    Pre 89 Wing? Wingless? or Whaletail?
