I have a 96 celica GT and it has 177,000 miles on it. It still runs very well and only smokes at start up (bad valve seals). Anyway, I am going to get the head rebuilt professionally and installed. Everything will be new, tight, and clean. My question is this...With a cylinder head that is brought back to OEM spec and then bolted onto a block that still has 177K on it, am I going to have problems? Will pressure be an issue? Is it likely the piston rings might get too over stressed or something? If the block is good, I shouldn't worry right?
