3vze head gasket question

[2002taco88hilux]

Hey all,
Doing timing belt kit on my 88 pickup. Doing all seals and gaskets as well. Was going to replace head gaskets while I'm at it but discovered it has some felpro gaskets sticking out. So someone was already in there once.

Should I still do them or leave them alone? Do aftermarket head gaskets hold up longer than the original ones that had problems? Truck has 150k miles. Not a daily driver. Mostly for hauling firewood. Much appreciated.

If they're holding fine and you don't suspect any problems leave them. Typically around here we suggest using the OEM head gasket but it isn't worth the trouble IMO to change them just because.

I wouldn't mess with it.

As much as I hate Felpro head gaskets ... if it ain't broke ... leave 'em.

I bought the truck really cheap. Starts and runs great but idles really high for some reason. Timing belt was hanging on by a thread. Here is where I'm at so far.
