I have a 94 st stock motor and everything. however the engine like all Toyotas it got an oil leak 3 years ago I think I've tried random leak fixers here and there and nothing's fixed it completely and now I do believe my head gasket is blown or is about to go the car runs rich blows white smoke out the pipe and over heats super fast so its a pretty safe bet I think. my question is do you guys think its work fixing the motor up and having a shop look at it or just tell them to replace the whole stupid thing I'm guessing their both going to be expensive. oh! the motor has 200,000+ miles to if that helps thanks for reading!

Sounds like you have the perfect opportunity to learn how to change a headgasket.
Fourtunately you have the ST, I wouldnt recommend removing the head on the GT for a novice. A full rebuild isnt a bad idea, but it will cost you 5-10 times what the head gasket alone will This post has been edited by Special_Edy: Oct 8, 2012 - 2:51 PM |
