    Getting ready to do another clearance check on my valves at 130,000. This will be the third time......
    It’s the original Toyota valve gasket and I’ve just reused it each time because it appears to be in great shape, doesn’t leak and made from quality materials.

    Am I just lucky so far or is this typical for OEM Toyota gaskets after 19 years and 130,000 miles ?
