Ok so I just replaced the expansion plug, all the thermostat,
water, oil pump gaskets. The idler, tensioner, and timing belt.
Put it all back together drove it, and no leaks, or overheating.
But it does vibrate in reverse pretty bad, and when I press the gas there is
A hissing sound coming from the engine.... It sounds like a tire loosing air..
Lastly when I turn it off there is some gurgling and bubbling coming from the back of the
Motor. It is puffin a little white smoke and there is some white stuff at the top of the
Oil cap

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!
Why did you replace those things? Vibration in reverse, motor mounts?
Sounds like a headgasket to me. White stuff on cap, gurgling from motor, hissing sound. I could be wrong but I would do a compression check.
yeah, what OP described, can be a head gasket issue actually ... plus a possible vacuum leak (hissing) ... or a very bad head gasket ...
compression test each cylinder as mentioned above. I would also pressure test the cooling system with spark plugs removed and see what happens, if coolant is squirting from spark plug tubes then you know the answer ...

Ok well im sad to say is prob a head or head gasket cuse also there is coolent coming out of the tailpipe..... Compared to what I've already done how much harder is it to do this job???? How much money will it run me???? And how long will it take???
Thanks
If it is a head gasket and you have been driving it you might have wiped the bearings. Normally I wouldn't say that but with fluid coming out of the tailpipe it is a possibility.
that is a good sign, engine cylinders seem to be all OK. chances of having a bad HG are going lower
now the question is HOW the coolant is getting into exhaust, only reasonable explanation is, through the engine ... I would do the coolant pressure test now and see what you get.
milky stuff under oil filler cap is not good, but can be caused by reasons other than HG (moisture getting into engine through some vacuum leak spot for instance).

Ok I got my hands on a leak down tester, but not sure how to use it.... Do I have to take the valve cover off??? Also I drove the car today and it maxes out at 40 redlining it won't shift into another gear.. I'm thinking that has somthing to do with the vacuum???? I am still getting a little bit of anti freeze coming out off the tailpipe... I ran it cold with the radator cap off and didn't see any bubbling ?? The car is not overheating??? I need to find out what it is quick I
Startin to consider parting it out...
just did a coolant pressure test and the first thing to spring was in the back of the motor and i saw a large hose had a pin hole leak in it......
HELP ME PLEASE BEFORE I JUNK THIS PIECE OF SHIT
any cooling system leak will screw up coolant pressure while engine is running making it more possible to boil easily when engine gets hot, it may also introduce air in system.
yeah, consider replacing that hose or maybe all cooling system/radiator hoses too at same time? how old is thermostat, maybe it would be a good time to do this one too while there?
just drain the coolant from radiator and engine block, replace what needs replacing and refill preferably with Toyota RED 1 gallon and top off with distilled water (should take around a gallon too).

Ya it's defiantly a hose but there has to be more.. Would a hose cause white reside and coolant co
