Could be a bad O/D switch on the shifter. You'll want to pull the console panel where the shifter is and replace the shifter bushings (Toyota, cheap part to fix it), makes a world of difference if...

Can't say about the 1G on the subject of oil leaks, just don't know enough about that engine. The valve covers are the obvious place to start checking, as well as the front and rear main seals.

I can't help you with the 1G year question, but it's the 7M series which is (fairly or unfairly depending on your perspective) known for blown head gaskets. I've never heard of the 1G having that...

Given the relative rarity of the '92 Supra no way would I molest it by doing that engine swap, even to an engine which is arguably more reliable than the 7M.

If it was me, I'd do some serious...

The 86.5 had the 7MGE N/A 3.0 straight-six engine. Starting in 1987 you could get them with either the same 7MGE N/A 3.0 or the 7M-GTE turbocharged 3.0.

The car is reliable IF it's taken care of...

Not sure on an N/A, but are there small coolant bypass lines going to your TB like there are on a turbo model? And check your heater lines which run from the back of the engine to your firewall.

Block test to check for combustion gases in your coolant would be a good place to start. Aside from that, check EVERYWHERE for a pretty bad oil leak.
How many miles on the engine? N/A or turbo...

Loosen slightly, then re-torque it in the proper sequence by the TSRM. This is after 5 or so heat-cycles. Call it insurance against BHG's, something we all should invest in.

72 ft/lbs for stock bolts. The 58 ft/lb original spec is responsible for a lot of BHG's as it's simply too low for the GTE.

If this is a newly rebuilt engine (or you replaced the head gasket,...

Nope, no drain in the plug valley. The #3 gasket for it is mostly to keep large pieces of debris from falling into the plug wells, and any liquid which gets caught there stays there until it...

First pic I'm not certain, think it's one of the sensors on the Tstat housing.

Second pic, green plug (there's two of them on turbo models) goes to a knock sensor. One...

The end nearest the AFM connects via vacuum line to the bottom tube off of the BVSV on your Tstat housing. The other end connects to the front tube on top of your charcoal cannister.
