haha, yeah, clearly the mechanic who works in a performance workshop has no idea what he's doing... believe what u want guys, but most advanced articles by anyone who understands the ins and outs of the 7m-gte (i.e. fully rebuilt the engine and put together for racing) treat the head gasket as a maintanence issue, they don't even treat it as avoidable, expect it every 80 000 kms, and if you're going to up boost, keep a few gaskets handy.
BTW - one of the sources of information in that debate was a workshop that does r&d for toyota, and they conducted a few empirical tests on the re-torquing of the head bolts and found that it decreased the chances of blowing a head gasket by like 10% or something (would source it if supraforums wasn't down) - u can't tell me they've got NFI, and no offence if i havn't 'sniffed out' what's valid or not, i don't judge validity by nationality, but if i've read the same thing by 99% of information sources, most of which are from mechanics and even toyota themselves, i believed it. Like i said, believe what you want.
