Rob,
If the head gasket's gone you won't need to take the Engine out.
Just take the Head off.
Buy a new Head Gasket from Toyota, get the head cleaned up, and bolt it back on.
You will need to know the Torque specs for the Head Bolts too.
Haynes Manual would probably have this info.
Cheers
T.

I did this in a day by my self.
My head didnt need any work tho...
Simple to do, minimal tools required, but you NEED a torque wrench! Get a Hayes, Gregorys or similar manual and start reading. Much cheaper then doing a whole recondition on the engine if you dont need to.
Get a good head gasket, and take the time to torque the head down correctly! And double check the timing before you turn the engine over! (its easy. should all be in the service manual)
Good luck!
Craig.
