    I have a 2012 Tacoma V6 and it needs a new head gasket. I have done head gaskets before but not on this truck and was hoping I could get some insight before starting. I don't know the torque specs or the pattern for the head, and any other info I may be forgetting would be great.

    Thank you for your time

    Cant believe a 2012 need HGs. It's not an easy job, ill say that much, if you've never done them before i might recommend getting a mechanic friend help you. Im glad i did, and im slightly mechanically inclined.
