for some reason my friends 2JZGE had a blown headgasket (when he bought it and found out later) but looking at the plugs when taking out the harness... and the quality of their work on the transmission (silicone on the rear seal wtf?) its a wonder why... :)

Good luck to your nephew...
Health is more important than anything.
Hope he is going to be ok!

This is coming from an injured service member, and i have to say, health always comes before my car ever has, and good luck to your nephew.

Being that im over here in japan, ive seen several NA MKIV (few and far) but ive seen some that are pushing well over the 400PS range in NA form, so NA isnt nothing to sigh away from in a 2J, i have to admit now..
