Decent deal?

Spoke to Onur briefly last week about an issue with my 75. Never spoke to Scott but thanks for the info.

As far as HGs and coolant issues, I've had very good luck with Evans waterless. I put in the HiLux almost a year ago with great results. Low to almost no pressure in the system and the temp hasn't risen much if at all. The engine is the L series which is notorious for popping head gaskets. All and all, I've had great results. The question being has anyone used it in an 80 with luck? I know the advantages and disadvantages with the cooling properties of it, but it seems that the lowered stress and higher boiling point would make it a good choice. I've never made the swap into a gasser.

Any thoughts?

I haven't used Evans waterless but certainly probably would'nt hurt. I have however repaired several head gaskets on Toyota in general usually Around the 200-300k range they seem to blow so beware and keep em cool. Well kept cooling systems I see go upward of 450+on original equipment. Maintenance is key. The sealants out there work for a temporary fix but best to go the distance if they do get the best of you. The last two 80's on the 1fz engines both went right at the 260k mark. Nice buy even if you get sucked into the 37" tractor beam
