Blown Head Gasket - HELP!!!!
Hey, I've got a 1987 supra, auto, non-turbo...it's in pretty good condition, but it's been confirmed that the head gasket is blown/cracked....the severity is unknown, since we haven't looked at it yet (just did the hydrocarbon test).
My mechanic has said that it's expensive to repair, and i might be better off getting a whole new engine. Has anyone had experience with head gaskets? I would really appreciate any help/advice I can get...thanks!!!!
