The stupid is so thick in this thread. Jdub, I'll try to throw a life preserver into the BS to help you out :3d_frown:


LOL...you must be able to see me biting my tongue (in half) reading this thread.

I'll say this...running that motor, especially a drag race, with either a cooling system problem or a BHG is going to end in a very expensive way.

IJ said it...park it till you figure out what it is.

Thanks for all the comments, I wish I never asked this question or searched on this forum before asking. About 8 years ago I drove my Supra with similar mild BHG symptoms for 15-20K miles, guess I was lucky and didn’t get water in oil. Though motor was stock with shimmed wastegate. Back then compression results were terrible, in the range of 158 – 175psi (still have old records), now all cylinders pressure is nearly same, I wonder if block or head cracked and opens up only under combustion pressure.
This year I already started collecting parts for future rebuild, didn’t expect this damage so soon. I really badly wanted to see what is my car capable of now before going bigger turbo. 2 weeks ago I got new Welds and slicks, now this shit happened. Well have to wait another year.

There's all different sorts of BHG, not all of em dump coolant in the sump.

very true, my first one never got in the oil at all, just went through coolant
at an alarming rate, sniff test showed exhaust gas in rad,
and you could start it and let it idle all day, without any sign of overheating, or missfire at all.
