Looks like you cut corners somewhere.
And your hg is going out again.

You may try burping your coolant. Sounds like you have a bubble in there.

there isnt any air in the system ive already checked that and the head was newly rebuilt from autozone and the block was still within limits as far as warpage.

STELLAR.

AutoZone was most certainly who I was going to tell you to take it to.
No reason you're wondering why your $hits weak.

It maynot be that your supra is a pos.
Maybe you just lack knowledge regarding such a technologically advanced auto.

If you can't determine where you're losing coolant, and your temp is spiking it is likely the hg has gone again.
What did you torque to to? Did you use new headbolts? How is the waterpump? Radiator condition? Clutch fan operation?

i used new head bolts and torqued to specification. not too sure on the condition of the water pump, radiator is good and so is the fan.

here is another problem added to the mix... today i went to start up my car and the motor wouldnt turn over, i had to put it in gear and rock it back and forth then it started really rough but then ran at about 1500rpm while it began to warm up but it smelt horrible.

if you went by tsrm spec which is 58ft/lb thats where you went wrong you should have done 80-90ft/lb and went over it twice

why would i go against what a professional repair manual says? i know that they are not always as accurate as we would like but 80-90 as apposed to 58? come on!
