Jdm Engine

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?
