Head gasket, should I be worried ?

Hi, I picked up a 97' V6 3.4 Ltd 2 years ago it now has 372,000Km's I have given it a lot of TLC and it's running great, just spent $$$ having the frame welded where the rust had eaten it ! One or two people are now asking me if the HG has been done yet !! No, I tell them should I be worried that it might "go" at this kind of mileage ??

 

Mine went at 200K. I took good care of the motor too. Id say it might. But if you have 2 options. I tryed to fix mine, but had to pull the motor to get the exhaust off. Since the motor was out i said fuck it and sent it off to get full rebuild and machine(pictures in my build page) But here a few more i didnt post.

 

Got her back looking like this Did a exhaust Wrap too

 

Holy moley ! How much did that cost you to get done ?

 

$2200, about $600-700 for the Rebuild kit, Rest was Labor and Machine.

 

BUT, you can totally pull the motor and just replace the gaskets and reinstall. It actually was not that hard to get to the gaskets, I was learning as i was going, Next time im pulling the motor immediately, I wasted so much time trying to tilt the motor to get the exhaust off.
