Yeah, what I am saying is that hopefully its already been dealth with. At that many miles (km) on the car, I would think any BHG issues would have shown up already and been dealt with. Although, mine has been rebuilt and I know its not the Toyota HG in it, but the Toyota Head bolts are still there. Without tearing off the top of the motor, I havent been able to see if they have stretched or even been torque'd correctly. I have read that the ARP head bolts get torqued to 75 lb/in. but the original torque specs stated 55.. which was where the trouble all started.
And as for new rad... is it a bigger rad? (Remember, I am not an expert or even a mechanic.. just a fellow Supra owner) From all that I have read and been told, you want to get a "better" rad than stock because it is small for the amount of heat this engine generates.
