how loud..?

welll i guess its a bit hard to explain without a video, but it sounds like its coming from the top of the block. its just a ticking sound gets faster and louder as the car is reved. doesn't sound like a knocking or i guess the " its sounds like i have rocks in my motor" sounds. im going to take the head off tomorrow and hope its just a bad valve or something with the head. its not smokeing at all on idle either.

Well how is the oil pressure? The noise from the motor could be, not saying it is but sounds like it is a spun bearing.

My black supra I bought with low oil pressure at idle and a bottom end noise. Well pulled the motor apart, wasn't a pretty sight, spun #3 rod bearing, destroyed both cams the head and the turbo.

Hopefully that's not whats going on but it's something you might need to check. I'd check the camshaft journals for any scaring or bearing material.

The Coolant blowing out more then likely the head gasket is bad.

well the oil pressure gauge is not working so i really dont know. you think if the headgasket is bad the head might have warped also and thats why its ticking? ive never taken part a 7mgte or any motor other then a civic. so it will be a learn as i go kinda thing. ill def be pulling the rods out and checking the crank/sleeves and the pistons and see what happens... if i post pics of it all apart would that be help ??

No the head gasket is just something that happens on a 7M.

And it might not be the oil pressure gauge. Sounds more and more like a spun bearing. Oil pump might be dead.

Do some more recon and let us know. Easiest way to check for a oiling problem, pull one of the cam caps off, if they look scared, if they are your going to have to pull the motor apart and see what failed.
