So here's my Celica as she stands now:
 And when I got her, nearly 6 years ago at 139,000 miles:  She's a 1994 GT. Fully stock when I bought it(wheels aside). Perfectly clean. Never been in an accident. Now it's got whited out JDM Tails, ST Suspensions sway bars, new Konig wheels and Megan Racing coilovers. A few weeks ago I started getting some possible signs of a broken head gasket. So, I decided to dive in and do something that I've been wanting to do for a while. So, today I got:  .Gaskets are on their way. I've already got a new clutch and some motor mounts. New cluster is on it's way too. Just setting to work on electrical until then! -------------------- 2019 M2, 2005 S2000, 1997 4Runne

Maybe air in the system? Jack the car up in the front or park it with the nose up, remove the radiator cap and let it idle a while. Don't do it with a warm engine though, but i don't think i have to tell you that
 Probable you've already tried the above, but sometimes people just forget about it
