QUOTE (nics @ Jul 7, 2009 - 12:30 PM)  FIXED!! So it turned out that it was indeed the head gasket, but went on too long so you had to replace the head as well? Did you have to replace your radiator as well? Glad it's fixed though! QUOTE (92-gt @ Feb 9, 2009 - 5:50 PM) Yes, I replaced it a couple days ago.. I know the thermostat is newer, because I was there when the previous owner replaced it. But I also know when he replaced the radiator, for some reason he also put stop leak in. Why he did it is beyond me. I would say maybe the thermostat is sticking shut, but the lower hose feels like it is getting warm, although it isnt as warm as the top. Could this cause it? I have the metal head gasket, bolts, thermostat, thermostat gasket on the way from 1sttoyotaparts.com as well as a gasket kit for all other gaskets. I just wanted to have it just in case, but I want to make sure of what my problem is before I rip into it... I'd suggest that perhaps that's your problem - the stop leak is clogging the radiator. If I were you I'd definitely start with the simple stuff like replacing the thermostat. It's SUPER cheap and SUPER easy to do. It's possible that even if it was replaced fairly recently, it was either put in incorrectly, or it's just a faulty part. edit: oh wait, I just realized the post from 92-gt is like mad old. Oops.
