I have decided to take it apart...almost done and will post as to my findings..I am only a novice as far as mechanical skills go.
the timing belt looked fine as far as I could tell.

I have all the head bolts removed but the head will not budge not even a wiggle..14 head bolts are loose and the timing belt is removed the exhaust manifold is removed.

Ok so I got the head off.not the head gasket or I dont think so...2 of the pistons look like thay were cooked...totally charred up and burned to crap.
So looks like I need a new engine

Sounds more to me like you need new pistons and probably to get the block machined... Typically MUCH better than a used engine swap.

Just a word of warning.. whatever you do, dont spend money until you map it out financially if you are shy on the $$ that you want to pour into the car. You can fix it cheaply, but I haven't talked to anyone personally that has been successful with that route on a MKIII. And because you say you have limted mechanical skills (as do I) your going to have to rely on a paid professional service for the good stuff.

I have personally looked at doing my engine for higher output and came up with a 10,000.00 rebuild amount (that included balancing, forged internals, a rebuilt and ported head.. basically a fully built longblock) and the previous owner of my car paid 5700.00 to have the turbo and engine rebuilt back in 2002 (about 20k km ago on my car). So, I just warn you to get the pricing all figured out before you spend anything simply because in some cases its cheaper to just part out the car or sell it as is and pick up another (depending on whats available to you).

Just warning because I sold a 90 Supra to a youngster who had big plans until the head got taken off and found out that he had to put about 5000+ into the engine and exhaust on TOP of the 1800.00 they had already billed him to diagnose everything.. All because he was "learning" as he went.. and didn't heed any of my warnings.. lol.

Good luck with the repairs!
