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!

first off where in CA are you? secondly a full rebuild is what i recommend. yes you could get back on the road by just doing the HG, however any other seal could go at any time. i have a very detailed guide on how to rebuild the 7A engine in the stickies. read it over and over. if you do all the work the rebuild will cost you 700 bucks
