Recommendations on someone to replace 4runner head gaskets
So the girlfriend has a 2005 4runner with the v6 1GR-FE. Apparently there are a few years of this thing where head gasket failures, that start with cylinder 6 misfires, are pretty common as they get older. She had a shop do leakdown test and test coolant and say it is indeed a head gasket issue. This shop has been good to her, and seemed pretty straight on what they would charge and also that for the cost it might be better to look at other options.
At any rate, as one of the options we're looking at, wondering if guys would have recommendations on decent mechanics that could change the head gaskets. Backyard guys with good rep are fine with me. If the cost is reasonable, would want to get it done this week. That or if they had a line on lower km used motor to swap in.
