    My 2nd gen Tacoma has a blown head gasket. I'm hoping to get some recommendations from TW members that have had their head gaskets replaced. Can anyone here point me to a good local shop that can do this repair?

    FWIW, my truck is a 2005, v6 4x4 with 160k miles.

    This.....
    Action Cylinder Head in Santee, will do all the work...
    Rip it apart in frame, pressure check, machine / rebuild the head, etc....
    Have no idea how back-logged they are, or where youre actually located....

    Some people in oceanside think theyre "so-cal"
    Theyre not....

    Yeah, that would've been a useful piece of info to include in my original post. I'm in Pasadena, but I'm willing to transport the truck if needed.
