Cool

i think the very first thing you should do is re-torque the head bolts.
factory specs call for 55lbs . everyone here will agree that 55lbs isn't going to cut it .
get your hands on a torque wrench and sock em down to at least 75lbs .

keep close watch on the coolant levels especially the over flow bottle up front ,drivers side.
looks like a window washer re- fill bottle

Default Supra Tips

Hello,I know about the bottle/overfill tank,cooling has not been a problem,car runs the middle of temp gauge or below even on really warm days crusing around town or on the highway. I have been using the Toyota red antifreeze as did the previous owner during the time he had the car. I flushed out the system really well shortly after I got the car, filled it and burped it, all A-OK so far [I know where your going with this......... the dreaded plague of all MIIIs.......... the BHG] in the time I have had it I have probably put 2,000 miles on the car,as far as the torque spec. [75 LBs.] I'll do that this weekend.I appreciate the advice. Thanks!
