Buy the Toyota head gasket kit and everything else aftermarket. eBay has some good stuff but they have some bad stuff too. I bought the head gasket kit from eBay and used almost everything except the head gasket because I didn't need it at that time. It also doesn't come with all the intake gaskets, it's missing the upper Y gasket.

I'd personally pick up new head bolts as well. I believe the current ones are probably shot after all them miles and the overheats. More money..but a good precaution.

I forgot that one, I would change them even if they had a 100 miles on them, because they are torque to yield Bolts.

I would buy the coolant, sealant, water pump, head gasket and frontseals from Toyota. Supra non-turbo parts are the same. I would get everything else aftermarket. I would change the plugs, plug wires and valve cover gasket while you are there.
