Found a 1990 Montero LWB LS 3.0 they said it had a blown head gasket. It has the Caution sticker and it is Auto.

WhatÆs the gear ratio and what is the Rig worth?
I know 2.6 L have problems with the head gasket do the 3.0L?

And should that worry me that itÆs "blown"

Ok, so I fix it.

What underling problems would have caused this, and will the over heat have damage other systems?

Is their any previous discussion on the 3.0 blown head gasket.
