Get the Best Priced Toyota Pickup Head Gasket

Your Toyota pickup head gasket forms a seal between your engine block and cylinder head. Your head gasket is responsible for sealing in, very hot and highly pressurized, combustion gasses. The head gasket is also responsible for sealing engine coolant as well. A head gasket is subjected to extremely high temperatures and covers a large area of your engine block. It is easy to see why you can develop some 22RE head gasket symptoms or a leaking head gasket.

Some Symptoms

Head gasket symptoms that are easily visible are coolant leaking outside the engine block and below the exhaust manifold. This situation can cause your coolant level to drop and your engine to overheat. This can cause you to need to do a Toyota 22RE head gasket replacement. The only temporary remedy for this is to add coolant to the reservoir to keep it properly full until you can fix the problem and do the Toyota 22R head gasket replacement. Exercise extreme caution when removing the coolant reservoir lid or the radiator top because the coolant liquid is extremely hot. Another related symptom is white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. This can mean that you need a 1993 Toyota pickup head gasket replacement. The white smoke is caused by a small amount of coolant that leaks into the combustion chamber turning to steam or white smoke and exiting the vehicle. This smoke needs to be seen when the truck is warmed up and during a warm part of the day. White smoke is common on starting your Toyota early in the morning on a cold day. This is not an indication that you need a new head gasket and need to pay the 22R head gasket replacement cost.

Engine Oil

These symptoms on their own don't ensure that there is a problem but mix these with a white milky look to your engine oil when you check the level on the dipstick and you may need a replacement. If this is the case, make sure to drive your Toyota pickup very little. Every mile can just cause more damage. If you need to replace the head gasket you can get some help from some videos online that explain the process and any extra parts that you should replace along with the head gasket. Another excellent resource is a Toyota pickup forum. Here you can find detailed 22RE head gasket replacement instructions and often you can ask questions about your specific Toyota pickup.
