The car actually steams very well now and runs perfectly even though I have stopped driving

apart from oil mixing with water and hard starting it does, you won't know that the top gasket is burnt

oil mixing with water is bad ! Extremely bad

From your replies it seems your just interested in people that will validate that it can be repaired.

I have been a victim of this situation and at the end of the repair expenses i ended up buying toks engine.

Unless you don’t mind those xmas light dancing on your dash board and can manage a car not operating optimally.

he said that oil is mixing in his radiator with water ....means that the engine is bad

And what makes you think the one you bought was not rebuilt at one point before you bought it?
The fact that you had issues with yours does not mean it can't be properly rebuilt.

I have a Lexus Es 350, the car recently overheated and I noticed some milky substance mixed with the engine oil, which suggest that my top gasket could have burnt and I now intend to change it.

but my worry is whether the car will remian the same after changing the top gasket, the car was just bought last year November.

secondly I want to know the kind of gasket I should use to replace the burnt one, should I get the same iron gasket which the car comes with or I should use the fiber gasket as replacement (the fiber gasket is what my mechanic actually recommends we use)

Where you able to sort it out?

Thanks a lot for this input as am really worried, a car I bought less than 2months ago and now I have to change gasket

I think the follow come gasket is iron, are you suggesting the mechanic should get another iron gasket to replace the burnt gasket or should he use fiber gasket, which is what is mostly obtainable in the market

if the gasket is made of iron, he should replace it with iron gasket, all this fiber I don't get.
