steel reinforcement

Head gasket is going to cost a good bit, plus you are going to want to get it machined and get a metal head gasket and arp studs or bolts. The other thing is its harder to put a car together that you didnt take apart then it is to take one apart and repair yourself. Also a shop will take this into consideration and will charge you more for repairing it. Even though there is less work because some of the stuff is off, it is more work to figure out how everything goes back on when they didnt take it apart. Some places wont even touch it if its apart. And of course you could have other issues with the car, so in short if you can't do it yourself and don't want a car that is going to need a lot of care don't get it. Supras are great cars but they need work due to the age and mileage.
