The waterfall is usually, but not always a symptom of bhg.

ya it was the test for gasses in the coolant... and my weather up here is only in the low to mid 70's when its happening. The waterfall sound i thought at first wa sa BHG, and thats when i ran the test, but after i burped my coolant system the sound hasn't been back. And if i have water in my oil isn't that almost guarentee that its a BHG?

Anything in the oil aside from oil is not good and is probably going to require large amounts of effort and cheese.

Look under the oil cap for milky looking schmaz.

Is your coolant overflow vomitous?

Are you puffing smoke?

Does the exhaust smell like coolant?

ya... i got the milky residue underneath the oil cap. And my overflow is dumping pretty frequently right onto my intercooler. I have to top it off every other day and im only driving 15 minutes to work, but im not puffing smoke and my exhaust smells like normal exhaust.

Big surprise.

Most of these cars come stock with BHG.

Start gearing up and locating parts and tools.

Don't do anything until you have everything you need.

DON'T GO CHEAP. Or you can expect to be doing all of this again in the not so distant future.

Yea, I second that!

If it is having a little trouble starting check the cold start injector it may be bad, It's on the mid/bottom of the intake manifold in the middle.

Hope that helps.

my mechanical abilities aren't the greatest lol. I know alot about how like the engine works and what different parts do, but i've never really done the work. I used to watch my dad as a kid and be his tool jockey when he would work on our cars, but he bailed on me and my mom a while back. my funds aren't the greatest either, im seventeen and workin about 35hrs a week and payin insurance on a turbo supra lol. so i'm lucky if im able to save 300 bucks a pay check to go towards whatever. Our house also doesnt have a garage so i can't really work on the car even if i wanted too. The hardest part of this whole thing is the car is my daily driver and i have no other mode of transportatoin... If i have a shop do the repair how much time and $$$ am i lookin at? And benesesso when you say rebuild the motor, should i be doing that along with the HG? Again guys thanks for all the help, you're like Supra Gods
