Who told you that you should be concerned about the oem head gasket in an MK4? That info is completely inaccurate. Also, with proper maintenance, the timing belt shouldn't be an issue either. Look for proper maintenance records, and do a compression test especially if you consider a tt. Fwiw, I'd also advise you to have either an MK4 Supra specialist, or an ASE certified Toyota mechanic (or both) look at it before you plunk down the cash...

No, they're the same displacement...but compression ratio, ignition system, and head configurations are very different.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
