7M engine with a blown head gasket (BHG), a well-known failure point on MKIII Supras. Owner was considering engine swaps but needed to fix the existing engine for use as a 500-mile-per-week daily driver.
Factory head bolt torque specs on the 7M engine are insufficient, which is a known cause of repeated blown head gaskets on MKIII Supras.
