    It’s compelling if they are a direct swap

    I took advantage of Toyota’s 25% off and ordered a head gasket kit,head bolts/washers and a thermostat. Thanks for all the suggestions. Will look into a “repair” this winter

    Well if the car is running fine without any issues, it may be better to do it in the spring. Why do you want to work on a car in near freezing temperature? it's not even broken
