If the head is damaged, you'll find it out when you use full throttle and the plug blows right off the engine.
I floored the 2003 RX300 today, and with 174,000 miles it screamed like a brand new car. Felt like the day I drove off the lot when I leased my new CT200h. Mechanically it enjoyed being floored. I stopped after a few lights. The transmission was shifting smooth under the higher pressure. I went home let a cool for about 30 and left again. This time I was just driving miss daisy, and enjoying the slow drive. Seemed going uphill the transmission makes a small jolt occasionally when down shifting, or up shifting under a slow acceleration. Really scares me hope the transmission holds for another 100k. Im guessing the spark plugs are A-OK after something like that.

** Raced and tied an earlier 2000 BMW 328 leaving the owner stunned.
