Thanks guys! I think I'll take your advice about the $80 head. I just spoke to the guy selling it and and he's going to run it by a machine shop and let them look at it to see if it looks ok. Also, I like your idea about the timing chain, if I can come up with the money I'd like to replace the chain while I'm in there.

I noticed that engbldr is selling kits on e-bay w/ head gasket, timing chain and other gaskets in a complete kit. I'd like to get one of those if I can swing it.

Thanks again for helping a fellow "Toyota Man" out,
Gary
