    Yes, that U-Tube channel/ poster has some interesting videos of engine disassemblies.
    If one is a "car nerd" like me :)

    All of my corolla's since about 68 or 9 maybe 7071 k e and t e Corollas. Never had issues going beyond 400k and these were no motor changes none of that stuff If anything rusted parts and things were changed that sort of thing and of course normal consumables so yeah to me that's like halfway gone if you will Just broke in well even the seats back in those days would not be splitting ruined at that kind of mileage with minimal care

    Huh, not a headgasket failure but a low oil failure.
