I would venture to say that if it is the headgasket, it is because you did not remove the rivet.. I just put a Titan/cometic into mine as well and had to remove the rivet. Some of the newer ones are rumored to clear, but I did it anyway to be sure. Also, another great test to check for BHG is a block test... I'm sure you know what this is, you can pick it up the fluid at NAPA and rent the tester from auto zone any time you need it.
"Milky white water" coming from my radiator:(..... Opinions?

if it were me, I'd do a compression test. If it fails the compression then i would pull the motor before it anything gets damage beyond repair.
i know that the hks MHG rivets are flat i just installed one yesterday but i still would not trust it. remove it and be done with it.
how do you guys remove them? rip it out or drill it out?? thinking deformed head gasket...
and for the block tester... autozone rents the tool you just have to buy the $7 dollar fluid. Thats about as cheap as it gets on a supra
If it didnt seal id look at flatness of the head and block, Ive done some stupid ass things with heads on newer motors that have factory metal HG's and they have never let go on me after 130,000+ miles of abuse and learning.

Yeah, I will go ahead and rent the block tester to set my mind at ease on having to pull the head... But if it is the case, then I got lucky the coolent did not get to my oil. Like many I spent soo much time and money on bringing my mk3 back to life, I would hate to see it all go to waste for not doing something that can be done in a weeked.
