And folks just like that you have another BHG. Sad to say im at a hard place right now and don't know what to do. Its going to be a hard decision but I might be selling the car :/ Im not to sure yet what im going to do.
sadly Im dead serious 
my heart dropped But Its not getting driven at all because its a combustion leak into the cooling system, I don't want it to start leaking coolant into the oil.

Sucks to hear man... dont sell it just put it away until you can fix it, then you wont kick yourself in the ass later.
Ahh man!Devin LeBlanc;1746396 said:sadly Im dead serious
I've been following your progress; you lifted the head maybe? What I did. Then I spent a few bucks $$$$ to get the head work and the block prepped for 750BHP. So, I am going to go down the route you're on, but hopefully w/o the BHG.
In an earlier post you indicated your 7M is on a Felpro and ARP bolts? Van

This sort of thing (sudden massive problem) never really surprises me with Supras, and, as much as I love the 7m... it happens to us all. Has this happened to you before? If not, I'd suggest that your car is just testing your faith. Don't be so quick to sell, let it sit for a week or so, think it over... do you NEED a car so bad that you've been using this as your only daily? If so, I can't help but think you had this coming man... just hang in there.
And, for what it's worth, you know your shit, but it couldn't hurt to take a look at that "living with a Supra" thread in my sig... just for perspective's sake.

Get yourself some spare wheels and park the sup'. Mine has been parked for over a month sadly. Almost saved enough money to get her reliable again though!
Don't sell it. I just spent a ton of money on mine, and it's starting to burn oil. I considering selling it and buying something else instead of doing the motor work...but I know I won't be happy unless MY supra is in MY garage. Although I have the luxury of having a reliable daily on the side...but I will be building the motor in about a year...and then it's 500whp for me reliably
Put it away, save up, and then don't regret it...IMO

Devin , Just put in another Felpro and continue. No big deal, you have a great setup.
This time use studs and retorque them. the exhaust side always loosens up.
Your not the only one that had a BHG...Can I get a witness ?????
We all are waiting for you to Rock this forum with your new ET.
There is nothing like Supra LOVE. Ask anyone who gave one up....They wish they still had it.

Well shit, looks like I'm going to retorque my head this week a second time just for good measure.
Put it away and slap an OEM gasket on there with the ARP hardware you have, it'll hold for the power levels you're asking for

DOnt worry man, this things happens to almost all supra owners :S, so it's time to install a metal HG because you make big Hp's with stock engine.
when you loosen the head up you will see the exhaust side will be loose compaired to the intake side..
Fix it BRO.
Its not that hard. remove turbo ,gas line, t belt, knock sensor wires raise it with a hoist 4-6 in. wala. OR SHAZAAM
Dont go MLS unless the block and head are mirror smooth... Besides you saved your pistons ,think about that.

Devin where you using Bolts or the stud kit? Im running felpro with ARp Studs (100ft lbs)and its held up through alot of trial and error
UMm I am not to sure about another felpro.. a cometic gasket will be more suitable. May someone can donate youa used or new MHG. Iam sure you want to get to the 11´s but felpro aint going handle that kinda power for long.
lol its all good I work at a performance shop I know whats required to do proper sealing of MLS head gaskets. I've built 3 7M blocks now all with MHG's. If I do a MHG its going to be pulled apart to a bare block and decked.
We'll see
We'll see

I've had 3 Supras already, and am picking up a 4th sooner than later, and that's JUST between the Mk2 and Mk3's! I STILL regret selling my first Supra though... just keep it man, you'll kick yourself down the road if you can afford it, and sold it anyway.

Already had a bhg and replaced it with an own... retorqued after 3 or 4 heat cycles but is rather do it again after a few thousand miles to be sure.
Devin, you know you can't quit now after all you've done
Devin, not to sound like a cynical bastard, but at least you won't have to retorque the ARP's if you put in a new HG
I've run into a million and one problems with my Supra to even get it back on the road, and it still hasn't been driven in 2 years. If I can find a box that would fit it, I have a felpro I can ship out to you if you would like it
