Supra has 4 cylinders full of water

GreenChevelleSS · 10-05-2005, 02:51 AM

the back four cylinders are full of water on my supra, just wondering if you guys think its a headgasket or a cracked/warped head or what. Ive havent got to drive this car yet due to having to work on it. Hasnt ran in 2 years.
1990 Supra Turbo 7M-GTE

Also want to know where can I get an engine rebuild kit for it that includes gaskets and etc...?

i feel your pain....

i would get your head checked by a machine shop to ensure it hasn't got a crack

my suspicion is that due to it sitting for so long & being the stock gasket at only 58ft lbs that it may have just separated from the block and head and spewed water everywhere

but get the head checked anyway

WOW. you probably have some serious rust damage in the engine cylinders too. If you can turn the engine over by hand then drain the water and spray some oil, Marvel Mystery oil works well, in each of the spark plug holes. If you are lucky, all you may need is to hone the cylinders, but you can't really tell about the piston rings though unless you pull the pistons.

Let us know how it goes!

How do you recommend I get the exhaust down pipe off of the turbo?

Also, there is a rubber cap that is behind the block on the passengers side that was cracked and all the coolant was out, I filled the radiator and turned the engine over and it started spewing out of the cap, so I think when I filled it with water that thats when the water got in the cylinders so I dont think its been in there for very long.

downpipe

jack car up, put on jackstands

undo 3 14mm nuts off bottom of flange on the bottom of the elbow
undo 4 nuts off elbow, lever with a persuasion bar... large flathead screwdriver, etc

don't forget to undo the stock bracket further down if you have it... usually bolted to the bellhousing i think... that will give movement on the downpipe

the little rubber cap is well known for bursting... get it either welded shut or another rubber cap

How do I get the 3 nuts off of the down pipe?

any tips or tricks?

Do I have to remove the exhaust manifold off of the head to remove the head? or can I leave on there, pull the head and then remove it?
