Goes the story of EVERYONE who buy's a stock cressida/supra with the intentions of making it a daily. Blown headgasket - repair attempt - blown headgasket again, rod knock or both.

You need to be mor realistic. 1jz swap with 300 wheel horsepower and be happy. 2jzgte wih 350-400 wheel hp and be happy. My friends in Silverspring MD ( NTO Motorsports) can do the swap for you in no time. You must have money though.

I mean, how else would he change his headlight fluid?

OP, the muffler bearings on these cars are also known problems. You should look into replacing them before you run the car again.

thanks, i will look into them when i get further along into this build. I would like to do most of the work myself honestly. i know there will be things i can't do nor have the equipment/knowledge to do. but i want to do as much as i can.
