only if done not proper or motor is running right to begine with it will blow again

Enraged 12-16-2009 09:38 AM

again, not a reoccuring problem if you dont cheap out and fix it properly. people just slap a new stock HG in, reuse stock head bolts, and dont machine the head, and then wonder why it blew again.

do it right, with proper machine work, and new ARP bolts torqued properly, and it will be fine.

When I did my engine rebuild I decked the block and machined the head and replaced the stock headgasket with a metal one. It's still driving around Victoria at 18 psi daily, 2.5 years later.

Hey guys this is a lil off topic but in a little bit im thinking of picking up a RHD 1jz 1992 supra what are your views and may u give me some feedback on what should i do and is it worth picking a supra up and are they reliable and fuel efficient? and i am picking it up for daily driving

Renthal 01-06-2010 08:53 PM

Twin turbo? automatic?

anything can be reliable.. it all comes down to the history and how well it was maintained.
the 2J motors is one of the strongest and best motors toyota every made, but if someone neglected it and beat on it it's entire life it wont be reliable.
Compression check, accident report, K's, upgrades etc...

Rx harnek 01-07-2010 02:43 PM

well its a RHD and olny has 97000k's and its a 5 speed it prob has minor upgrades like filter boost guage and suspension and piping thats it but is it worth my 6000? and it is twin turbo

NashMan 01-08-2010 12:03 PM
