Fixed the choking, blew my headgasket

yup, that's right. I finally took my 1991 mr2 turbo to a supra freak shop here in anaheim called DynoExtreme and he put NGK platinum plugs in there,found a vacuum leak in an intake hose and fixed my timing and the car was runing like never before, I was loving it. And that same day, the radiator fan decided to go to hawai on a vacation, and so there was nothing cooling the radiator fluid, and I noticed the temp guage on the freeway doing 85mph. I turned the car off and exited the freeway in neutral. Pulled into a gas station, and yes, it was too late. Started it again like 30 min later, and the car smoked white, and I heard that raddling noise, towed it to a mechanic, he tested it with that little blueish liquid pumping fume detecting thingy, and my headgasket was gone, that blue shit was turning yellow in two seconds.
So I got an HKS headgasket from Autobacs for $250, I got the 1.6mm one that lowers compression to 8.38 so I hope it'll turn out to be worth the unexpected $900 job.

Oh, and we haven't found out whether the head has any cracks in it or not. so wish me good luck...

i would check compression and do a leak down test just to be sure nothing is wrong with the block either....
