Timing chain, Head Gasket, Paranoia, here we go again...
I had a toyota truck with a 22RE that ate a timing chain cover, lost the tensioner into the oil pan and the shavings ate main bearings. I had it rebuilt and ran it ANOTHER 250K. Enough said. If my 80 pukes a head gasket at 150k-200k, I'll pull over, have it towed home, fix it, and do another trouble free 150K-200k, without even thinking about it, and it will be MUCH CHEAPER than the 22RE. Everybody say OHHHHMMMM.
