supposedly the engine was rebuilt 15k ago but who knows. it also has a magnaflow cat-back exhaust.

i used to work at a toyota dealer and i stoped by and had a used car tech i know that has a 82 supra stop by and look at it and i asked if i should be concerned about the head gasket. he said the engine was origionaly designed to have a asbestos head gasket, and the head torqued down to 75 foot/lb. he said something about just re-torquing the bolts to 90 foot/lb but i dont remember if that was with a new gasket or not.
