It is not possible at all to run back the odometer. I really hope that your are not wanting to run it back, not only can it not be done but is illegal. Mileage is important to help show the cars health and use of all components including suspension not just the engine. 60 or 100k?? That is a big difference.
It is unlikely that the head will crack but could warp from overheating but nothin a little machine work and a thicker headgasket wouldn't fix. The block will not crack it is built from a really strong Cast Iron. There are still a few things that could cause the car to pressurize the radiator.

Im not going to turn the odometer back, just wanted to make sure it cant be done so I dont have to worry about that. Okey thats good. If it have 100k Miles on it maybe thats not bad either, I have heard these engines can go for a long time. As soon as I get the VIN I will do a carfax check on it.
Is there any supra that has a odometer in KM/H? He thinks beacuse the speedometer is in KM/H that the odometer is that to, but I think they just have put a plate over the speedometer that shows KM/h. |

Yes, Japanese-spec Mkiv Supra Turbos show km and km/h not miles or mph. Also, TRD makes a 320km/h speedometer with no mph scale on it at all.

Although an aluminum head won't crack, detonation can blow chips of metal out of it... I've seen this damage first hand, and know for certain that it is not only possible - it is likely to happen if you run too much boost with too little octane. Yes, this could cause combustion pressure to leak into the cooling system. Also, it's quite unlikely that the aluminum head is warped unless something really stupid was done (eg. run the engine without any coolant). However, I strongly disagree that machining and a thicker headgasket would fix a warped head. Try this and the cams won't spin in the journals.
