thanks J3PZ, I will definetily need those blessings and thanks for doin that.
I drove it today all day and have'nt seen any unussual heating issues or loss of coolant. although yesterday after I took the previous pictures and 15 minutes after I got the engine running id did over heat a bit...upon closer inspection I noticed lack of coolant but no leakage at all. Must have been an air pocket because it took about a gallon of coolant/water. after i filled it up I havent seen any coolant loss on the radiator or reservoir...Thanks supra gods...!!!
like i said, I drove it a lot today and havent had to add a bit of water to the radiator or reservoir.
At last the supra is at home and my kids are so happy...too sad its getting a bit cold here in Georgia to take the targa top off. allready installed the stereo and checked all the lights.

here are a few pictures more...I'm so happy to be driving the Super again..lol

I drove the car nearly all day long for the second day and no coolant loss...hurray!!

the supra gods have heard my prays...lol

My paranoya is slowly going away,unfortunately after reconecting the PCM after the head gasket repair, the evil code 52 appeared. now I will be checking the wiring to the knock sensors and possibly rewireing it using the coax cables refered to in http://oldschool.supracentral.com/ .its a posibility the wires came loose at the pcm since I noticed that there are some spliced coax cables near the pcm conector from the previous owner.
I did notice some surge under boost that wasnt there before I repaired the headgasket but can easyly be a by-product of the CODE 52 retarding or advancing the timing under load..
has anyone else suffered from this with code 52?
