My Supra's death is near......

[ex3cutiv3]

Not really but I have had a few problems inlvolving white smoke, constant
vacuum and the lighs won't popup. About the smoke, it is there constantly
I drove the car about 200 km on day and as I pulled into the houses I looked
at the car and little puffs of white smoke where coming out of the exhaust. Now it is like a cloud that hovers before blowing away wtf could this be because of the factory torque on the head studs? Also the vacuum ;
revving the car to 5000 (sationary) and to 6000 (driving), my psi gauge is always reading in the southern region also no blow off valve Pshhh or anything can be heard watsoever. finally the headlights when i turn on my lights there uis a clicking noise that goes on for about 3 secs then silenceif I turn the lights off then suddenly the headlights (sometimes just 1) will popup . WTF!
thanx Ex3c

I cant comment on anything else but yea never leave a head torqued to factory specs (52-57 I cant remember exactly) I have installed dozens and dozens of heads on different motors and still have yet to see a lower torque value on a head bolt.

If you got ARP studs there should be directions in the box for the proper torque

I think you may have a problem with your Valve Stem Seals... a guy with a 1jz at a last cruise had them bsut on him, and it would blow heaps of white smoke while idling.. but once cruising off would go away... if it's that, not a big big issue, just get it fixed .

Thanks man! I think I'm gonna take the car down to the local Toyota Dealership for a full checkup because I'd really like to have the car running in
prime shape b4 modding anything more.

mmm sounds kinda like a dead turbo to me... no boost.

agreed, sounds like a dead turbo, take off accordian pipe and check turbo for esxessive play, if its an 1/8 of an inch or more thats bad.
