Blow Head gasket

[willsep3241]

My 4runner blew a head gasket. I think I want to replace the engine. Any body know of a good mechanic in Bellingham WA or any other suggestion on engine.

94 4runner, 135000 miles, 22re

the 91's through 94's or 95's are covered under a recall warranty regardless of miles (I think). Contact your local dealer and ask them regarding the 2nd Gen head gasket recall. I bet that you'll be covered and get a free fix.

Oh wait, I know that the recall was for the V6, don't know about the 22re

The 22R-E had a service bulletin while the V6 had recalls:
