After putting a JDM engine in my Supra almost two years ago and ignoring the advise of replacing the headgasket anytime you put a JDM in, I finally got around to doing the work this last week.
It took over one year for me to get to the point where I realized that I had a BHG, since I had a number of other issues that took a while (due to lack of time) before I was able to drive it. So last January is when I started driving it the 50 miles oneway to work. Then weird things started happening. And finally coolant came out of the overflow bottle and I knew it was a BHG. That was last March. And again, time just wasn't available. :nono:
So when I found out I was going to have to delay at least one week before I could start my new job, I decided replacing the headgasket was just what I needed to do! I started a week ago last Friday and got it running today. I still need to flush the coolant, change the oil and hook up the trans lines. All of which I'll do tomorrow. But the engine purrs like a kitten! :love:
I also decided to add a little collor to it all! :icon_razz
