Hey

Toyota didn't do a recall for a head gasket design

what toyota did wrong was they only torqued the head to 58ft pounds whereas it should be 75ft pounds

to get your 86 done properly, you need brand new head bolts or upgrade to arp head studs, an aftermarket head gasket will do well... you can either spend the money on a brand name hks greddy etc or get a custom metal head gasket... metal head gasket is definitely the way to go
get your head and block surfaced and get the engine reconditioners to crack test and pressure test it and check for softness, if your head is all good not warped etc and your block hasn't got any bad pitting or corrosion then a metal head gasket, new head bolts and torqued to 75ft pound should be sweet as... if you need any help regarding this send me an email or check out my site www.supra.co.nz and i'd be happy to help

Good luck

Suze
