Different question entirely than that thread. Not trying to diagnose an issue but to get opinions on an engine swap vs head gasket.
It is the one with the pink goop issue from my other post. Almost 200k. Been burning oil for the last 5 years. 1& 3 spark plugs were coated in oil...
Yes that is a major concern I do have right off the bat. I have been watching the head gasket replacement videos and it seems really labor...
Looks so simple to swap in a used engine vs the head gasket. Am I correct? What are some of the pitfalls of a swap?

I am in Oregon and Toyota parts are expensive and wildly fluctuate dealer to dealer. I was on a deal tracking website and they alerted that Toyota...
