Hi I'm new to the supra world. I bought a supra last month and think I blew the head gasket already. When i bought it the guy i bought it from said it had an air bubble in the cooling system from when he replaced the radiator. Well from time to time i hear a sloshing sound behind the dash. The wierd thing is the car never gets hot, I don't have coolant on the ground (i did at one point but a heater hose blew it had a pinhole in it) the car runs good, but i am losing coolant somewhere. What i'm wondering is if it is the HG since i have a N/A can i use a toyota OEM gasket and and ARP bolts? I don't want to have to do this again. I will be sending the Head out to get machined and will likely lap the block myself. I have no intensions of doing any performance upgrades or anything like that just want to keep it as a daily driver. thanks
