hey, im 18, love cars etc etc. my dad just picked up a 1990 N/A with 102k on the clock. It was a 1 owner car and is in great shape, all maintenance was done by toyota. Only thing is the head gasket was never done, am I to worry? Car is stock other than pioneer head units, cassette and cd, and 225 goodyear eagle f1's all around. heres a couple of photos, let me know what ya think. nice forum hope to stick around.

Good deal! I would do the head gasket and get it out of the way so you never havet hat worry in the back of your head, then you can have confidence that you have done it right too.

What? Are you crazy? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. While I agree a head gasket is a thing to worry about on high mileage cars, it isn't a preventative measure. Some last a lot longer than others. The one in my car went out a 200K. Hell no, I wouldn't just replace the head gasket if there were no symptoms.
