Hey man I also have a 91 3.0! Post some pics. Oh yeah I (and the auto shop) also just got done replacing the head gasket. Fun little job.

Someone turned me onto this website. I haven't ordered from them yet, but here ya go. Toyota Parts Zone - Toyota Auto Parts, Toyota Accessories

so you are saying i should take a close look at the...............head gasket? lol thanks for the not so subtle hint

LMAO wouldnt it just be easier to install a hitch and pull a boat? all the same i would love to see you get it done and post pic's of the catch of the day. good luck and thanks for the tip.
Know anyone looking for a 87 FSJ Cherokee Chief?

thanks, I will post picks as soon as i get it home, it has rust on top of the rear doors above the windows, seem a strange place for it but it has lived in Santa Cruz Ca for the last 12 years so who knows. trying to get it home tomorrow before Daytona race. i am on the left coast and it is an hour away so my boy and i will be up early. again thanks for the help

The 3.0 V6 has a history of HG problems. It might be helpful to know if it has ever had them replaced. But more importantly, how does it run?
