Hi everyone, before I ask, I got to state that I have utilize the search functions and done extensive searching, but not one of the threads covered what I would like to know. I would like to know and hear from those individuals who have done head gasket jobs without machining the head and block using toyota OEM HG with ARP with correct torque specifications. Recently purchased my car and is extremely low mileage 89' (91k 7mgte) and is a one owner (senior). As read in one of the many threads that I found, no way in over 20 years+ will the surface remain as when it was new from factory. The reason I ask is because the car has never overheated, the car never suffered from a bhg (trying to do preventative maintenance) and the previous owner babied it. The car will never be race or modified in any other way. I am the type of person who appreciate the car for what it already is and would just like to keep up with maintenance since there isn't very much of these cars around anymore. I would like to HEAR from OTHERS EXPERIENCES how this held up for them? Thank you.
Edit: The car runs extremely healthy. A long with hearing others experience, would it be wise to do this preventative maintenance?
