    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Are you confident you're capable of doing that job? It's a pretty major endeavor, which includes removing the cams and you must be sure that you buy an OEM head gasket and mill the head mating surface. If it isn't leaking why bother, the one thing I would recommend is having the valve clearances adjusted as the exhaust side tends to tighten up.

    I have the CC motor, CC computer, and steering wheel control stalk from my 95 2.7 if you're interested in purchasing them.

    As far as I know it's not leaking, no coolant in the oil. Yes, I'm confident in doing the work. I've been working on cars for 30 plus years. I've heard that the head bolts stream over time, not sure if that's true. Thanks for your input.
