did you change the rad cap also?90SupraMike said:
if anything, get one of those testers to see if theres exhaust in the coolant.
yup thermostat is new too. fan clutch is new. radiator is new. i do have one of those testers but dont trust it one bit. i used ti b4 and it said everything was ok eventhough i had a BHG.
ok heres some pics of how the NAPA block test went. couldnt get the car to idle at all.
and then heres a pic of it trying badly to idle

You sir...have a BHG. 
Not only is the color of the test fluid yellow...but the jumping jumping boost gauge also confirms BHG.

Don't blame the car for the shitty work that was done to it :3d_frown:
I'd be all over that shop that did the work. MKIII owners....:3d_frown:

well if the car was done right in the first place (from toyota) there would of never been BHG problems to every mk3 there is
i mean my car was working fine already for half a year and then out of no where it happens again and i used all the good shit thats supposed stop it from blowing the head gasket.
from my reciepts on the car its been through 2 motors, 3 head gaskets, 2 water pumps, 3 radiators, 4-5 thermostats, 4-5 rad caps, 3 fan clutches, 2 turbos. this car is like cursed or something. and i do regular maintenance to it.

well exactly i dont have money to fix this shit again. im still paying people back for the last time it went out. all my credit cards are already maxed out from this POS. i cant do it myself (no tools and no time)
Ummm...mine blew a HG at 130,000. I re-built the motor and it's got over 10K on it running twice the boost. Whoever it is working on your car really doesn't have a clue about the correct way to make this engine run flawlessly...you need a new mechanic...badly.
Is that the car's fault...I don't think so. Read my sig... SC's quote is dead on

Im running 14psi on a stock HG ..... Sounds like your machinist gave u a 6 for a 9. Did you ever ask them about which tq values they used? Toyota or ARP? What about the RA values? If they did not use the right ones i will get them to redo the HG job. Your car is beast dont get rid of it yet.
Your head gasket blew again, because it WASN'T REPAIRED PROPERLY THE FIRST TIME.
WTF did you expect to happen??? It could have blown two days after it was replaced, it could have blown two years later...IT ALL DEPENDS.
With that said, I replaced my head gasket a year ago (when I first got this car), and I have replaced a TON of other parts, (your list is very similar to mine)...I am running 12psi of boost, and I haven't had a major problem yet (with the engine that is...subframe is a different story.)
If I were you, I would just spend $2-300, and replace the head gasket with a composite one and ARP studs...should be fine.

they used all factory specs. so after i get the car back from the body shop im gonna throw it back to them and tell them to do it right and then sell the car.
