P pcc OP Body Damage is Cool Doing my timing belt/water pump leak service. Truck as 183,200 miles. Valve covers off, also doing valve seals, injector service. I know this is maybe an impossible question but should I do head gaskets now? Not sure what the life span of head gaskets on this truck are. Maybe others experience and opinion. Thanks. 92 Montero LS 3.0L V6 Auto, Stock, Original owner, 185,800K miles Re: To Head Gasket or Not?

I'd leave it as none of your work is disturbing the current seal. John Stewart Editor - 4x4Wire.com Editor - 4x4Voice Editor - MUIRNet-News President - BlueRibbon Coalition Re: To Head Gasket or Not?

Can't hurt from what I've read. Several people online and YouTube says the stuff works really well most the time. Re: To Head Gasket or Not?
