Haven't changed head gasket.

I did compression test a while ago, though I'm not sure if I did it correctly. At least 2 cylinders were under 100 psi as I recall. The car was running decent at the time, smooth idle and no stalling or anything.
Compression tests need to be done while the engine is as warm as possible. Older engine which have excellent sealing surfaces may report VERY low when cold but come in near perfect when warm. Worth checking as being able to provide honest numbers if a buyer asks may mean another $100 or $200 in your pocket.

Thanks, I'm glad I could help. I'm always accepting tips. I'm sorry you need to move on but hey, I did too. Haven't owned a MKIII Supra in a couple years now and no longer take take on jobs for people who own them... I've had enough of fixing problems that other people started and man do people do amazing work when it comes to hacking these cars up.
