I can't seem to remember how the heck to find out of the HG is bad on my GSR. Isn't one of the symptoms:

a) when you open radiator cap, bubbles keep coming out as you rev?
b) when you open up valve cover and oil mix with coolant causing a "milky" color coating?


thanks,...

 

b) when you open up valve cover and oil mix with coolant causing a "milky" color coating?

Ok, having owned a MK3 supra for a long time (it's sold now) I've had my fair share of diagnosing headgasket problems. The symptoms of a blown headgasket are as follows:

Constant bubbles coming up in your coolant due to exhaust gases trying to escape.

Coolant in the oil causing the aforementioned milky coloration (it sorta looks like nasty chocolate milk)

Oil in the coolant that looks like mud.

White smoke coming out of the exhaust. This would be the case when a coolant jacket portion of the head gasket has broken allowing coolant into the combustion chamber.

Keep in mind, you may exhibit just one or perhaps all of these symptoms when dealing with a blown headgasket. Hope you find your problem.
