I'm pretty sure that all the white smoke I reported last night turned out to be a blown head gasket this morning on my 1995.5 Tacoma 2.7L 4wd. There is no coolant in the radiator and it won't turn over. It hadn't been running hot SINCE WE BOUGHT IT TWO WEEKS AGO, so I suppose this came as a surprise.
I have a mechanic who will replace the gasket but do I need to have the heads machined/valves checked? The shop said this was required, but expensive!
Thanks,
