Head gaskets

[Marse Hernandez]

32,000 miles and still running strong without any problems.  Should I replace the head gaskets per the old Toyota Recall or not?  Recommendations? 1993 Winnebago Mini. with V6 Engine.

It might have already been done. Have them run the vin at a dealership.  They should be able to tell you. So long ago good to print out the special service campaign docs and take them with you. If they say it's too late make it clear there is no expiration date anywhere on it.

Thank ou Linda. Appreciate your help very much. The previous owner said the original head gaskets were never replaced on this RV. 

 

FYI: Brian McCamish (https://www.brian894x4.com/V6headgasketrecall.html, https://www.brian894x4.com/index.html) of Portland Oregon, appears to have a lot of experience with 1990'sToyotas.  In his above web page, he advises that "Problems with the V-6 head gaskets always seemed to fail early in the engine's service life for no good reason".   I hope this is true.

 

Thanks again.

At 32000 miles yours is still early in its engine life

I was looking at years of the engine's life rather than its low milage as you have reminded me. I'll try to get gaskets replaced by Toyota Dealer. Thanks again.
