    then your gonna pay for it too......lol.....your looking around 1,000 for that one, with getting the head to the machine shop so they can deck it an check it........then depending anything else had to be done. then your headset an labor an all....an if you have alott of miles, then I really think you should go with another engine, used one, with less miles, if yours have (example) 200k miles, an you have a bad headgasket, depending how hot it go, which you cant tell , unless you take your head to the machine shop you might warped the head, so when you have that issue fix, an they shave it ,then put on your stock 200k mile motor, sometimes it will throw your bottom end out, an cause it to start knocking, just my 0.02 cents

    Pay cheap and get more problem usually shop would charge you around $500-$800 and thats if you get a new gasket. That worst part of all that is Timing

    what u mean? i'm pretty sure it's a worse job if you are carb'd like i am because of all the vacuum hoses you have to remove...but generally..on a 22r, its a simple job, remove the hood and its pretty self explanatory...or get a chilton/helms manual

    Well for one, thats my buddy and its a 3.0... And Michael call me tomorrow and Ill give you Chris's number I met him through Matt Hardy, the guy was a Toyota mechanic for 30 something years and does good work for cheap. And his shop is right off easy piedmont by allgood.

    And 22rs are easy gasket job. I am looking to do a 22r hybrid with a 20r head. Apparently they make like 157 hp on a carb'd motor.
