A whole lot cheaper than having to redo the headgasket.
Speaking of "A whole"s, the "a whole" mechanic that did the first headgasket on my '85 4Runner (note the word FIRST) thought there was a problem with the studs on my LCE motor that caused some problems. So, being an idiot I bought a set of bolts to replace the studs before contacting the company. The ARP studs were fine. The mechanic was wrong, twice. First he was wrong that there was something was wrong with the studs, next he was wrong when he torqued the studs to bolt specs. That headgasket lasted less than 50 miles and cost me another headgasket
Anyway, I wound up with an unused set of bolts that fit '85-95 22re. I did a quick check and they weigh in around 3 1/12 to 4lbs in the box and shipping to you would be $7.20 first class or $9.45 priority mail. LMK if you want them and you can have them for $50 and shipping. That should leave you enough $ for some pizza and beer while you put them in.
