I have driving my 1991 FJ-80 Series a few times now and it has overheated. The engine was very hot on two occasions. I pulled the radiator, sealed the leaks, and flushed it. I also flushed the system by pulling the radiator plug and the engine block plug. It still leaks a bit from below the radiator so It probably was not sealed correctly. Also, the plastic reserve radiator tank has boiled on each occasion. My mechanic says we need to replace the head gasket seal so that it will not overheat. Will this fix the problem. I will also probably get a new radiator(The cheap Chinese Version) as I am in Baja Mexico and it is hard to find oem parts down here. Especially after the Hurricane Odele. Any suggestions and insights would be greatly appreciated! thanks
