purcashing 1987 toyota supra soon, YAY! HG questions inside.

Im not arguing with you man. Im simply stating personal experience. Iv reused certain gaskets and have had no problems, thats all. Im not saying reuse intake gaskets or tb gaskets or anything made of the paper composite. I was just saying you can often reuse metal gaskets and not have issues.

Also dude dont get up on it at all if you even think it has a bhg. First do all the symptom checks, and if it shows no sign then dont worry about it until those symptoms occur. Drive it like its a scion xb. Just pretend like the power isnt there and your trying to get some good gas mileage. Plus look at the weather man, would you even really have reason to with this until at least spring. And from what you wrote you are doing this before then anyway. Right now its -30 with wind chill here. And surprisingly my supra started right up after sitting for 8hrs while i was at work. These cars can be amazing if treated right. Just do your research like you are and youl be fine.

im not gonna buy it if it has a blown headgasket haha, thats too much money for me atm...unless he gave it to me for a couple grand off and the deduction would cover the repairs. but whatever.

def not driving it much at all in the weather right now, we had a cold day today so im not even in school...roads are horrible.

im not doing the headgasket repair until i have enough money. i should have about a grand in 3 weeks, maybe more. and yes, i agree, any of the supras can be extremely resilient if theyre well cared for...which is why im so willing to dump money into this car like nothing.

thanks!
