If that shows no signs of cracks, and the gasket also looks intact, then slap
in a regular (not a very expensive one) new gasket and hope for the best.
Start worrying about cracks in the block if the problems return.

We aren't Ivan, we're going to have the head checked over properly and deciding on route of action from there.
Also have a spare head.

Already bought a TRD gasket and it should have arrived (long conversation with Interstink Express there).
I'm really hoping to not find cracks in the block, but if that comes to it, I at least have a spare block too that I can swap the lower assembly in after new rings and bearings.

I hope it's something simple however, not been given a chance to fall in love with her yet!
