Inaccurate head gasket TSB (?)

[hobbes]

With all the talk of head gaskets (and my recent self-jinxing), I noticed the TSB from Jan 02 about the "1997 LC Head Gasket" off the Edmonds website:

Component Description:
2. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE NHTSA Number: 351518
Bulletin Number: TC02001
Bulletin Date: JAN 2002

Vehicle: 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser
Summary:
LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN X01 INVOLVING REPLACEMENT OF THE 5VZ-FE V6 ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD GASKET. *TT

I'll make the flying leap that since last I checked I have a 1FZ-FE motor, this won't apply toward my free head gasket. Those Tundra/4Runner guys are lucky. :

You are correct. That campaign pertains to early 5VZE 3.4 V6 engines in Tacomas, 4Runners and T100s. You still need to rely on your own billfold.

Crap!

Got me all excited about getting some $$$ back.
