    Blown Head Gasket?

    The Toyota dealership is recommending both heads be sent to the machine shop, and head gaskets replaced. The shop foreman confirmed this is his recommendation.

    I bought it used, as a certified vehicle from a Toyota dealership, with a Toyota warranty. It had about 70k miles on it when I bought it. That was in July of 2017.
