New supra owner

Blsadler · 01-30-2006, 12:39 AM

I just bought an 89 supra turbo. I have read that these models tend to blow head gaskets at around 90k. the car runs smooth and there are no indications that there are any problems. I am considering changing out the head gasket as a preemptive strike. I am not a mechanic but I think that it may be something I can handle. Not sure what to do yet, I hate to tear it apart when it runs good.
It is reliable imfo that the headgaskets are unreliable.
