    Hello everyone so I blew a headgasket a while back and I tore into my truck took the head off and it turns out my head is cracked. Any recommendations on where to get a good head at. I live in north central Washington and have access to Napa, Autozone, and o'Reilly's. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I purchased a complete unit from Rock Auto and had it delivered to my house on my 3RZFE. It has been rock solid since I installed it 35k miles ago. I would definitely look at them.

    I would go with Yotashop or Yota1. They rebuild actual Toyota heads and use quality parts. Most store heads are the cheaper Chinese heads and parts.

    i've heard that yotashop or yota1 are great source like others have said. Wouldn't hesitate to give them a try.

    I got mine from https://www.kingcylinderheads.com/ because they were local to me and i was able to get it delivered next day. So far it's been great and it already had the valves adjusted with new camshafts when I got it which was nice and made things easier. Great customer service too!

    Nice! I think you'll have a good experience with them. If you have any questions or concerns about the install or head itself, you can call them and they're great about trying to help out!
