i remember reading b4 something about
when you have a lot presure coming out of the gas tank everytime you open it

is this bad news, or anything to do with the bhg problem
(sorry, too lazy to look for the thread)

if you over fill the resivor and the radiator with coolent it boils it out and the resivor has a drain for the purpose, mine radiator leaks coolant throught the drain plug i wouldnt worry to much about it... and if your light comes on fill it up probly the reason they think this bull crap about the bhg is cause they didnt keep the engine cool it over heated and blow the gasket so just keep the coolant in it look for leaks mines a slow leak at the plug

"the reason they think this bull crap about the bhg is cause they didnt keep the engine cool it over heated and blow the gasket"

No the reason we think this bull crap about the bhg is because Toyota's factory head torque specs are too low causing the head bolts to stretch therefore blowing the head gasket. They don't actually "blow" they leak. Coolant just goes under/over the gasket to the nearest opening, usually the cylinder, sometimes the oil passage.

I never ran my engine without coolant in it and the gasket still went. I was actually anal about the coolant level, checking it everyday, every single day. We should start calling it BHB for blown head bolts because that is why the head gasket "fails" to seal anymore.

It's a known fact that the factory torque specs for the head bolts are too low. If your factory head gasket hasn't failed yet, oh don't you worry it will. It's not if, its when.

ya so everyone go torque their headbolts down to 72ft/lbs (for stock bolts/headgasket). youll be safe then.
