Hey Krash, I've just bought a jap surf too. I drove it to Swift Current a while ago and had to limp back to Grande Prairie with the coolant puking out of the overflow. I've taken it to a Toyota Dealership and they think it's just the gasket. I think it's probably the common cracked head issue but I can't find one either. How's your search going?

Cracked head

Ok canuk surfies. I also bought a 91 surf and it overheated and, head gasket problem. it's much deeper though. I went into the top of the engine and decided to buy a new head at 4 wheel auto in edmonton they usually have 2-4 on the shelf. if you test the head for cracking its about $400.00 and it usually is anyway. got it back on the road and yesterday the bottom of the motor went it was clanking really bad and came on fast with no warning. so after a $3500.00 bill. I am now out an engine because thats what happens when coolant leaks in the oil right? now what do I do I am into this $$$$pile for 12K and the motor is f'ed I will take it back and see what they will do??? I had them take the bottom apart as much as possible before repairing the head but Its only a month and a half ago. I love the truck too bad it will not run
