Default 92-es300 3.0 v6 head gasket Help?

I just traded a 94 honda accord for a 92 lexus es300 with a blown head gasket. I was wondering if it would be easier to fix the heads or just replace the engine? Does anyone know of a good site to find out the pros and cons on this car? This is my first Lexus/Toyota. I have done alot of Honda swaps and repairs but dont have a clue "never fixed or messed with Lexus/Toyotas" on repairing this car. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks

swap in a 1mzfe or 3sgte you'll be fine

costly but better motors in the long run along with more powerful

plus if a toyota motor has a blown headgasket(s) it either has high miles or been ragged out

don't keep it

swap it

Yeah, you really have to rag on the 7m's or have high mileage to blow a hg

you can blow a hg on any car if something is fucked up.


Depending on why the hg blew in your motor orginally the heads may be warped/cracked and you may need to hunt down new heads.
