was having issues with the car not making any power, couldnt work out what was wrong with it on the dyno after 30 runs (280rwkw => 130rwkw). car revs fine and makes boost fine. just doesnt put any power out to the wheels.

car has t67 25g, other bits n pieces and standard motor.

anyway today i decided to take everything apart and replace exhaust gasket and plenum side gaskets.

when i took off the plenum i could see green coolent inside one of the runners and when i took the runners apart there was coolent inside the paths that lead to the cylinder. in 2 of them they where dry but the rest was filled with coolent.

comp test is fine, coolent is green not creamy or anything, oil looks fine aswell, no rust on sparkplugs they just black.

also car isnt driven daily only used at track

can anyone think of how coolent would of gotten inside or only way is from headgasket?

copper colour is from copper gasket spray used onto of the normal gasket.

any help would be great thanks

Just a wild guess but either your cooling system was still under pressure when you undid the bolts and coolant seeped into the cylinders or just a case of no pressure but the bolts were undo while you worked on it a fluid got in because you did not drain the cooling system.

Did you drain your cooling system before starting work?

If you didnt, then thats your answer, if you did and fluid got in then you have a problem.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
