I assume the engine is stock? If so I would try the kit.

My advice: Buy a gasket kit for everything BUT the headgasket.
The quality of the gaskets in these kits is usually acceptable, but the headgaskets are more often than not shit.
Buy a headgasket from Toyota, it's worth the investment. I dont know which aftermarket brands make decent headgaskets.. I usually go for Elring, but they dont seem to make anything for our 86's.

This is good advice in my opinion.
Use the rather expensive and worth every penny Toyota head gasket.
