My Toyota 92 4runner 3 litre is in the shop for a head gasket job.?

Question:
After looking at the short block, there is a small grove that took 3 or 4 trys to feel where the grove or pit was, should i just pay $1500, and fix the head gasket, and take my chances, or pay the $4500 and just put in a rebuilt motor?Engine now has 242000kms

Answers:

will 2005 intrepid r/t rotors fit a 97 intrepid?

I say the rebuild. 242000 miles is a lot of miles and I would hate for you to waste 1500.00 if it does have a cracked head.

front end alignment?

is a 92 send it to the junk yard its done

car trouble?

if the groove is not a crack near the cylinder bore,clean it out a bit with a rotory tool and fill the groove with jb weld smooth flat and put it back together

2006 Toyota Tacoma. How do you reset?

jb weld is not for this type of repair. hone the cyls and live with a very slight lose of compression if its not completely removed. a 92 is not worth the price of a motor. send the head to a shop to see if it is still ok, then make the decision. what is its value where you live because 4500$ is alot towards another vehicle

can this happen?

I wouldn't put that much into a 25 year old vehicle.

I don't know why You people always diagnosed to the worse all the time.

Confirm: coveralls for working don't come in 100% synthetic because they'll melt when exposed to heat or fire?
