I better tell you guys the truth,I kinda ran out of money half-way threw the build and i was forced to make a choice to use back the head gasket and it looks like i might be paying for this bad choice.

personally.....had it been me... I would have reused every seal in the motor except the ones that were leaking, made all of my gaskets from ultra black RTV and everything else before I reused a head gasket.....

But, I guess making mistakes is how you learn.

Sounds suspiciously like someone milled the block and DIDN"T mill the timing belt cover at the same time. :(

I wouldnt be surprized,because since i got this supra ive been trying to clean up the mess the last owner had it in.he said that the head was done and there is a metal head gasket that i found out was a dam lie,no mhg and the head has never been shaved.This what i put together,before i spun the bearings it use to leak in the same place but very very little and i thought it was the cam cover seals and after i clean the area it would stay dry for about two to three months.So lifting up the hg and compressing it again just killed it and now i have to fight off jack frost to change it,along with other minor problems.:cry

Thats the funny thing,i changed all the dam seals that wasnt leaking cus i figured since im there,and the one seal i decide to use has to leak and its the biggest one of all.Boy i really feel like an @$$.You can be sure this crap will not happen again.
