What motor is it???????? If its a 7mgte, I would go ahead and replace the head gasket with a thicker, metal one. Also check the wiring harness to see if any of the wires are old and brittle, if so you should go ahead and replace the bad wires now instead of down the road after they break.

One would hope he would have thought of all that before it went in.

Why the blind suggestion of a thicker HG?
