new member here who just picked up a 86.5 supra n/a 3.0. i bought this car as a non running project. i have gotten my car to start and have found 2 things mechanicallywrong with the car and need to know if these are the only problems or if someone else could offer some suggestions. when i started the car for the first time the engine loped between 600 and 900 rpm. then i looked in mirror and saw the white smoke(blown head gasket). then i smelled gas, looked under the car and saw fuel running to the ground(fuel line) only while key was on. my question is the loss of fuel pressure causing my problem or is it something more? thankful for any help that can be offered.
