V6 Head gasket question

Not sure, but if it's still the original HG on my '97 V6 motor at 370,000K am I driving on borrowed time ? There are currently no signs of a problem however. Just wondering.

If it was me I drive it till it needs replaced. No reason to worry till you need to worry.

Exactly, being with that amount of KM if it does go I would consider finding a good used motor. Also I see you're from NB, everything I've seen that comes from out there is rusty rusty rusty. So you may be on borrowed time as it is.

Honestly just drive it till it drops.
