4runner v6 head gasket problems......???

I was thinkin of purchasing a 4runner v6 and I was wonder when and if
Toyota re-engineered a the engine to fix the problems...??

Ages ago - it was just a gasket design problem. Toyota stood behind product
(just like they are now doing with the oil sludge issue) and many got new or
rebuilt engines after many years and a hundred thousand miles. The new 4L
aluminum V6 is great - decent gas mileage for a heavy SUV and great
performance -- now mated to a 5spd automatic. Great resale value and super
dependable!

So how are the same V6s but the ones that are mated to the 4spd autos,
like from 2003?

Thanks,
