I called Toyota and they told me mine was not under the recall so i should not worry. My question is should i be concerned when driving should i sell my nice 4 runner, any way to prevent it from happening , any tips ideas suggestions etc.

They did change the head gaskets after 1994.
Some will tell you the new ones aren't any better.
Others will tell you repeat HG problems aren't caused by the new HG design but the lazy idiots at the dealership who don't install them properly.
And still others will say it's just a bad engine design and HG problem are just a fact of life.
Is that confusing or what?
