hello all
im new here and i hope you dont flame to much on me lol. but need so help.

first off i bought a 1987 turbo supra. its not the nicest looking(needs paint, some body rust) but hey its a supra. first off it has around 190K on the body and around 80K on a newer/used moter, sadly the guy didnt have the paper but for it, so i bought it for 2K. Now when i bought the car it had a slight tick and the guy said it was valve tick, first off the coolant cap blew off and over heated i turned the car off and re-filled it and the temp lever was at normal range from here on out.

..but about 50 miles later, when i drove it on the highway..no WOT no boosting i was in traffic. driving the car from indy back to ohio, the car lost power and started making a very loud ticking sound and it got louder as i reved it. so i turned it off like right after that.

lucky my friend has a truck at home and we towed to my place.

please any help will be nice.

thank you all

p.s. the only thing the car has is a t3/t4 and a full 3inch exhaust running stock psi
