I had the same problem. The plug was leaking coolant, and the coolant would be under pressure, so just smearing rtv over the plug would not hold. The plug did not want to come out..... so I cleaned and sanded the area. then I degreased with brake cleaner. Some JB-weld over the too of where...

When you are the father of a 24 year old son who has avoided working on cars even though his father (me) has been working on cars since I was 17. (I am 55 now). He wanted a Supra, I discussed the Club BHG concept. A lot..... So what does he buy? Why a Cressida of course... Why, because it has...

This is for my sons car. The previous engine died due to BHG and block corrosion issues. Since I already have the oil pan back on, I will just call it good. If he were a speed-demon or drove the mgte engine I would replace the bolts. I have reused the nuts and bolts in other engines, and I never...

I bought a jdm 7-mge engine. I loostened the rod bolts so that I could check the tolerances with Plastigage. Most threads on this web site and the on-line service manuals do not mention that the nuts and bolts need to be replaced. I did read some where that the rod bolts are stretch-to-yield and...

I am working on it tonight. Since the engine was in at a slight angle when I heard the POP noise, the first thing that came to my mind was that it sounded like the torque converter fron nipple popped into the crank shaft. I removed the torque convertor for the first time since the POP incident...

I was planning on using a dial guage to determine back and forth motion. What might I have done to the crankshaft?

I had the 7-mge engine out of my sons 1990 Cressida. Since the torque convertor was easily accessable. I decided to pour out any ATF and replace it. None came out. So I had my son shove it back on. Last time I did this was on an old Chevy Vega many years ago. No problem. Next I tried to install...

I am John. I am here because my son bought a 1990 Cressida. It appears the Supra forums have all the good information. My son bought his car thinking he had a good deal. I warned him about the BHG issue. He was a salesman at a local Toyota dealership, and one of his co workers was...
