Yes it is. It brings up a lot of questions. - Why did it need a head gasket? The most likely reason is overheating, but with that many miles it could have been just old age, possibly.
- Is something else affected by the overheating? For an example, the head could be warped, or the water in the oil could have affected the engine bearings or rings.
- Did it get reparied properly? Was the head replaced or was it milled? If it was milled, is the camshaft bore still aligned?
- How can I tell any of this?
