I may call the dealer and try to get some maintenance records if they have them. Wish you didn't throw them away. You want to speak over the phone about the car soon? Would love to get all the information I can.
When I got it, the throttle body gasket had been changed recently. Wouldn't be surpized if it was part of a headgasket job. Think the dealer records I had ended around 150k.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one around here that thinks the sorona fenders are ricer. Keep up the good work.

Quick update on things. Decided to go with a different set of wheels. The TL wheels were damaged at the shop due to a careless worker. I had already spent nearly 5 hours per rim fixing all the rash and painting them, and do not want to go through that process again. Car is out of the shop and in my garage now though, getting very close to the reveal!

When i tore the motor down, all the gaskets were OEM and appeared to be in good shape minus the valve cover gaskets/spark plug seals. I hope it had a HG job at some point, I'd say it did.
