Greetings from Santa Cruz,

Our 94' 4Runner (Black Betty) has blown a head gasket <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

Oh well...with 170K+ miles on this engine, should I replace rather than repair? I won't be doing the work, so no great savings on the repair. Otherwise, what brand of head gasket is best? Felco? or the Toyota gasket, or are they the same? Any brands to avoid?

Thanks much, Hugh <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" />
