    Here is an update on the head gaskets that I replaced.
    My leak was occuring on cylinder 4 and 6. I guess alot of failures are happening there.
    when the gaskets were pulled I could see where it was leaking.
    symptoms were:
    gurgling coolant in the heater core while accelerating
    slight sweet smell from exhaust
    spark plugs 4 and 6 were slighty different than the others, whitish deposits
    doing a vacuum check on the coolant system. It was not holding vacuum and you could hear gurling in the block...

    toyota head gasket kit $220
    head bolts $180
    machining heads $225 machined .006"
    and a few other tools and parts..

    I have a 175k miles and It should be good for another 100k miles

    In conclusion if you cant fix it yourself, put your seat belt on and check the air bags..

    So being that I don't have 3 or $4000 to have the head gasket replace what's wrong with pouring in the radiator substitute to seal the head gasket
