Toyota mechanic needed - 22RE head gasket

[max power]

Need a good Toyota mechanic in central Ohio to do a head gasket and valve adjustment.

I lack both the facilities and the time to do the work at the moment.

Who do you suggest?

Thanks guys, I will give those guys a call.

I got an estimate today for over $700.

Jeremy will be half that if you are paying cash. And yes he was a Toyota dealer tech for a while and is ASE as well. Runs the shop at Glassburns now and does side work at home.

I did a head gasket on my old 22R, gotta love those tiny OHC's. Took maybe an hour. But the RE's injection would surely add time to the job

I did mine as well. Biggest pain in the ass was putting it all back together only to find out there was a crack in the head. Had that not happened, it would've been a smooth experience.

I just don't have the time or garage to do it in at the moment.

I just stopped at Germain to get some oil filters and had them quote it for shits n giggles.

$1700

It appears it may be the timing chain has worn through the cover breaching the water and oil pump that is attached to the cover. Not sure that the gasket is bad at all. Anybody know how to tell for sure?

I have anti-freeze in the oil but no white smoke (or smoke of any kind) while running. Oil also isnt getting milky, but gets way overfull while it loses anti-freeze. No leaks.

It sure sounds like if it were the head gasket you'd get some white smoke, have a misfire, or something. I see where that could happen.
