ya what should i torque it down to i have heard 70 and 75? Also will it help if i torque it down as soon as i get it while i save for the HG JOB. Is this safe? Also the company says that the inspect there engines as well they do a compresion test so in therory it shouldnt come with a BHG. Well wish me luck

I have one question for your buddy with the JDM swapped celica? Is it a 7M? I didn't think so.

Good stories with a 7M? You aren't going to find one. These motors come out of the factory with a blown head gasket JDM or not.

Compression test? Yeah, too bad my motor with a BHG had 180psi compression across the board. A compression test will tell you nothing about the HG in a 7M. A block test will.

Do like kwnate said and replace the head gasket as soon as you get it. Then you can just prey that it won't throw a rod. That's the reason most of us steer towards rebuilding what you have already. Because whats the sense in buying a motor just to rebuild it when you can just rebuild the one you already have?

OK....., so it's not just me then right???

This kid is stubborn I guess. I can't speak any sense to him. I mean kwnate has supramanias car of the year and he won't listen to him either.

SO all that can really be said is. Enjoy your new jdm. Followed by you had better be planning on becomming a mechanic. Because there are going to be times where the car will not let you take it to the shop. He'll be lucky to get it home to fix it.
I hate to be that way but he comes here where we all drive these cars and work on our own autos and he trusts a shady mechanic.

No one here can tell ME the mechanic is not playing this kid because if the mechanic doesn't know about 7m jdm's. He might be inclined to push one off.

So good luck with it dude. We can't help you if you don't want to be helped.
