My 1987 MA70 Supra with a stock 7M-GE auto has 171K miles on the original head gasket.

That has to be a world record right? :aigo: hahaha

It's got a tiny leak in the head but it hasn't blown or overheated to this day.
I have a W58, mk3 clutch pedal, and driveshaft sitting in my garage that will go in after a rebuild my 7M until i get a swap.

Mine went over 180k before going. I can attribute my BHG to a clogged radiator. If you keep your cooling system working, the stock head gasket should last forever.

Then again, at 180k my valve guides were on the edge of spec, so the head was about ready to be rebuilt anyway.
