    Hey all.
    So I have a 05 runner that has a blown head gasket. It’s been running for the past four years on a blown head gasket with 300,000 miles but now it’s really starting to get bad. The previous owner did an entire top end rebuild about four years ago and recently (2 weeks) I have been blowing through coolant, I have a gut feeling that this motor won’t last me much longer. I can’t afford to get a new motor right now I am just looking for some tips other than babying it and keeping coolant topped off. It is a build in progress, I just need it to last me a little longer before it takes a shit.
