Blown Head Gasket Symptoms!

Oropher · 02-23-2008, 06:05 PM

I just got done replacing my BHG. My temperature guage liked to spike a lot unless I kept the engine going at above 3000 RPM. We had done everything else, new water pump, new radiator, new fan configuration...nope. Dug into it and found the BHG and erosion on the head. Had to get the head planed, 10/1000 (which is not reccomended by Toyota) and put the thing back together. So far it has stopped the overheating and has stopped blowing the coolant out of the system, but now I have an injector (or something) leaking fuel and can't find where to plug the knock sensor back in so, hopefully I'll get that soon.
