I want to buy a Supra, but my friend told me that they have a lot of problems. Particuarly the later models. My brother also said that they have problems with the head gasket. Is this true?

i am new to this site,but i have an 87 and its H.G is blown,and ive seen a lot of 90s for sale for the same reason.so id say so.

7M's had headgasket problems. It's not due to poor design, but to improperly torqued headbolts from the factory.

If you buy one, do the headgasket, and torque it to 72ft lbs. Or if you'r e building a performance machine, do the appropriate work and install a MHG.

Problem solved, permanently.

Interesting info! Wonder why the factory didnt get those bolts to spec...what were they torque'd at anyways?
