shouldn't the compression be a lot lower where the leak is?

yeah the head was pressure tested and resurfaced and checked to make sure it wasn't warped. i used a stock headgasket and torqued it to 80 with arp bolts. i've done a few headgasket jobs and never had a problem like this, maybe the head was warped and they didn't realize it?

i have a project car just did the headgasket started it up and its dumping white smoke. milkshake is dripping out from the oil pan and lots of coolant in the oil. anything else that can do this? i just did a compression check and all cylenders were an even 150

mine starts around 14 then drops to 13 when the idle falls, once the headlights or heater is on its all downhill from there

i'm having some problems with me car just wanted to see how common it is, how many volts do you put out at idle with headlights or heater on?

just tried an alternator from my friends car made no difference :3d_frown: this thing is driving me nuts

got the alt checked they said it was fine. where do the accesories ground? i'm asking cause i can bump my system and no drop, fans not much of a drop, and they are on their own wires. so i'm thinking there must be some resistance in the wires for the accesories it only drops to around 12 if the...

alt is around 12.7-12.8 battery is around 12.4-12.6

i'm starting to wonder if i got another bad alt, i replaced the wires going into the back of it (they weren't in very good shape) and went through just about every fuse/wire. the headlights drain the most but i did notice all others drain a bit too and i'm getting very low readings at the alt...

yeah makes since, i'd be doing these to the fuses under the kick panel correct?

my headlights are draining my battery i have a lot of other accesories (amp, fans, gauges) but i've narrowed it down to the headlights taking the most. with all other accesories on its about 13.9 once i turn the headlights on i drop to around 12.2-12.4. these are taken at the battery. from the...

wouldnt' mind the work its just that i put the motor in a couple of weeks ago :icon_evil

dry test: 140 140 140 140 135 140 wet 150 155 165 145 155 160 motor was not warmed up though dunno how that will effect the results. anyways i have a lot of oil leaking through my valve covers and people have been telling me lots of blow by equals bad rings. did the numbers...

dry test: 140 140 140 140 135 140 wet 150 155 165 145 155 160 motor was not warmed up though dont know if that will effect the results, but the numbers did jump a bit after the oil :-( guess i traded my bhg for bad rings...this car will be the death of me

theres a lot of oil in there, someone was telling me that this shouldn't be a problem and my rings may be bad. guess its time for a compression check. any other causes of excess blow by?

i'll probably be doing that tonight, i'll let ya know how that works out

i'll check it soon and post results, as of now the supra has developed a bad oil leak i need to take care of. seems like everytime i fix something two more things break:3d_frown:

i've replaced the gaskets twice this thing is still leaking!! always the passenger side. i have the hex bolts, i dont think i overtightend at all do you think i should losen them up? any way valve covers could be warped?

i'm getting a code 31 from my abs Right front wheel speed sensor signal malfunction -Speed sensor -Sensor rotor -Wire harness and connector of speed sensor where is the sensor located? is it common for these to go out or should i be looking for a wiring problem? any fuses to check?

i did notice that i was just under the impression that the vacuum sucked it into the intake mani, never crossed my mind that under boost it would be the opposite:nono: glad i dont need a new turbo though!
