Hey everyone,
I've been studying up on all the FAQs and stickys here, this place is the best for information regarding Supras. I hope this is just the valve cover gasket, but here's my dilemma:
My 89 Supra Turbo(7M-GTE) started misfiring the other day, it had been working properly for the past year+. It just suddenly started misfiring about a week ago. I pulled the air intake/egr stuf off and started checking out the plugs. Once I got to the 2 cylinders closest to the rear of the engine I found both cylinders have a pool of oil resting atop the spark plugs. No wonder it was misfiring!
Anyway, does this sound like valve covers or BHG? Something else possibly? I've never changed the head gasket on this car(but was preparing to, using the info here)...is this engine shot? Any tips for getting the oil out from above the plugs? I'd hate to let all this nasty oil drip down into the engine. Ideas? Questions? Any help is greatly appreciated...I can't stand to have my Supra 'dead'...as it is now!
Thanks everyone!
Trevor
