Call your nearest Toyota dealer and give them your VIN #. They'll be able to tell you if it has been done already. If it has been done, you are SOL. If not, they will most likely replace the head gasket, and any other engine parts that made need it for free.

Using the search function you will find more information.

Even if you don't feel you "need" the head gasket - if it hasn't been done ... take 'er in and have 'em do it. The problem will surface at some point....so go ahead and have it replaced.

***Word of warning: don't listen to the stealership when they say that "since it's apart we recommend you doing this and that and this and that because all that stuff should be done, blah blah blah" ----- just tell 'em - nope: new head gasket and put it back together, thank you.
