2003 v6 head gasket repair

[Bmann412]

Hey, I am pretty new to this forum so this might have been discussed before. I have a 2003 4Runner v6 with 190,000 miles and I believe the head gasket went. Everything I have read states that the engine needs to be pulled to replace. Is this true? Can it be done with out removing engine or is it easier to just pull it. Thanks

It can be done without pulling the engine.

keep in mind there might be slight differences with yours but this is going to be pretty much the same procedure for doing it

when doing this job it the right time to redo everything new while you have it all apart, especially with 190k miles it just doesnt make sense not to
