Once I have a head gasket issue on a motor, I never treat the vehicle quite the same way again. You can get years of service out of it still, but you may now think twice before passing a certain truck on a bit of straight on an otherwise winding road. Or you may decide to no longer tow with it. Or you may decide to use a different car on an especially hot and humid day involving lots of congestion or mountains - this kind of thing. Group oil changes tighter together, change pulleys and tensioners and the belt sooner; do more frequent drains and refills of what easily drains out of the gearbox.
Let us know when you tear it down, if any of the headbolts are slack in any way.
