Blown Head Gasket Symptoms!

chash360 · 06-15-2007, 05:36 PM

The 7mge should be the same set as 7mgte, the t means turbo. The head bolts and manifold studs should be the same. You may end up with 4 extra bolt-nut sets for the turbo, but I don't remember those actually being in the kit. The best gaskets for this motor in my opinion are available from NAPA (its about the only thing I get from NAPA for imports). They are laminated metal-graphite with a teflon coating. Not the 'paper compound' types, even if they have the cylinder and jacket beads (like felpro's), these will eventually disintegrate.

does anyone know where i can get the special tool to torque the nuts back onto the head

DONT !
do not put a cheap $50 head gasket from felpro,,,
Get yourself a Titan or HKS, or cometic metal 2.0 mm gasket.
Pretty much guaranteed not to blow !

Hi , Im planning on buying an 87 non turbo supra and the guy that wants to sell it says that its overheating, and blowing coolant out the exhaust could this be because of a bad head and gasket , i need help figuring it out

Hey Bud, if it is blowing coolant out of the exhaust, it is far more than just a head gasket ! That head is warped bad ! Is it just white smoke or dripping out? The turbo might be messed up too.
How much is he asking for it? I have a stage 2 port polished head if you need one ! I am only asking $150 plus shipping.

Im really not sure if its white or not i haven't gone to look at it and hes asking like 600 for it but ive found a better deal for another 87 supra with less miles and what seems less of a problem the other supra i want to go look at had a hg replacement and now its leaking oil and its making a clanking noise ( this is what the guy selling it told me ) and he wants 800 for it

Not sure if you want to go with something that is making clanking noises. Better off with the one that has a blown headgasket.
