Head Gasket Time !!
Hey all, I'm new to the forum, gotta say I'm loving it. Lots of info.
I'm the proud owner of a '95 SR5 4x4 with the 3.0 litre 3vze with 122394 miles on it (so far )
I'm getting ready to replace my head gaskets, have the heads resurfaced etc., rodknock sensor, water pump. Been reading up on bumpin yota and morphine's rebuilds, good stuff there. Just have a few questions:
1) Was gonna order the gasket set from partsdinosaur.com Good choice or should I go another route?
2) Since the radiator will be out I wanna get a new one. Mine was refurbed at some point around 1998 and prior to the HG blowing had a small leak. Plus the fins are pretty banged up. Any reccomendations on radiators? Or should I jump on ebay and grab one there...saw one for ~$100 new with warranty.
3) I live in Seattle area, anyone reccomend a good machine shop to take the heads to?
I'm sure I'll have other questions later on, but for now just trying to get my parts lined up.
Thanks in advance for any help

I'm a fan of engnbldr.com, myself. Very good HG's and bolts....along with other things. You'll find many at YT like them.
