Looking for Shop Recommendations in MN

[KellyC]

Hey Guys - I've given up on trying to find the time or patience to fix the cyl head problem on my 1986 4Runner.

Can anyone give a recommendation on a reputable shop to replace a cyl head gasket in the Minneapolis/St Paul area? Preferably south metro - the truck is in Bloomington.

Thanks!

Crap. No suggestions?

Anyone want to make $500 to install a long block for me?

Work + grad school + baby on the way = no time to turn wrenches.

Try posting up in Chat Kelly, sadly chat gets much more traffic than our humble tech section... best of luck!!!

Reading through your other thread, sounds like you might just have some vac lines crossed? I had a hell of a time getting my truck running correctly after doing a HG gasket last summer.

I might be able to take a look at it for you later this month, but I am busy this weekend and might be swapping heads next weekend. My HG started leaking over the timing chain cover, not getting into the cylinders though. Loosing a lot of coolant though.

As far as the engine swap, I could talk to a few people and see if anyone is up for it.

I live in White Bear, other side of the cities.
