91 4runner problem

I overheated and blew white smoke out my exhaust. I assume I have a blown head gasget. Where should I go? How much is it gonna cost.

Does anyone know a good mechanic in Costa Mesa, CA

if you have the 3vze... phone toyota's 1-800 number, give them your VIN and ask if there are any outstanding recalls.. maybe get the hg replaced for free under the hg recall? never know.

It SHOULD cost about $500.00.
Sadly, it actually costs about $2000.00
As above, call and find out if you are a head gasket winner (SSC V-06 still open).
