yeah after hearing so many people throwing a fit about fel pro head gaskets on 22rs being junk. i called the Toyota dealer and found out the Toyota gasket price wasn't much more than after market price. so i went Toyota, peace of mind was worth it.  funny thing was , when i pull apart the 20r that i couldn't kill. (it's head gasket wasn't leaking).. it had a perfectly good Felpro head gasket that was on for years.. go figure
