is a 1990 auto turbo I6 motor reliable

I havent re-torqued my head yet. Ive had my Supra about 2 months now, and I love the car. Sometimes I wish I had bought a Turbo, but others Im glad I didnt. Im too old to go racing around town in a hopped up tuner. I enjoy smooth power, comfortable ride with a hint of racing style.

I really have no idea what a shop would charge to re-torque the head bolts. Its not a particularly hard job. Its getting everything out of the way to do it is all. Tell your parents that it needs to be done, and that your research (call it that and they will be impressed) has shown that this simple preventative maintenance will greatly improve the life of the engine, and that its NOT a performance mod. It is a relatively cheap fix for a well known and documented flaw in this particular engine.

Then, buy yourself a service manual, some decent hand tools, and start slowly teaching yourself how to do your own service...you will appreciate your car more in the end if you do.
