Lots of work to replace. Are you sure it's the head gasket? Did you take the coolant resevoir cap off when cold and let car warm up and see if coolant bubbles out? You may have air in the system. there should also be a bleeder valve at the front left side of the intake manifold to bleed the system and get air out of it. Otherwise go to autozone.com and register with them. They will give you step by step online instructions as how to replace head gasket, and this info is FREE.

Did you have the flatness of the block deck checked? Same thing for the head flatness. If one or both are not flat, then you will continue blowing head gaskets. Also, you can try using Blue Devil sealer. It can seal most head gasket leaks wiout tearing the heads off again.

Does a rotary motor have head gaskets?

Yes rotary motors have head gaskets. Blowing out the radiator? That sounds more like a radiator cap problem more than a blown head gasket. If there is no oil in water or vice versa and no copious smoke from the tail pipe then I'd check the cap and coolant level.

1987 toyota pickup with 22r keeps blowing head gasket

Your head bolts are stretched, when it got hot it weakened the metal in the bolts which means that the bolts cannot hold the needed tension on the head. Replace the bolts and you will stop blowing head gaskets. Also use Genuine Toyota head gasket, It will be a bit dearer but they are much better than aftermarket options.

could be just head gasket and bad exhaust manifold gasket (coolant leaks past head gasket into exhaust port then leaks out of exhaust manifold gasket)

Only way to know for sure is to remove head and inspect it

Sorry you have a blowing head gasket I have a Grand Am with the same problems and found out is was the head gasket. Get the car to the shop and have them perform a pressure test on the radiator and they can tell you if you have a blow head gasket failure also call intake gasket.

Head gasket blown

there are many was a head gasket can blow . sometimes they just leak to the outside sometimes they leak to the coolant and then it blows out your antifreeze. if you have a blown head gasket you will see it when you pull the head. and yes you should hace the head checked at a machine shop and install with a new head set never reuse a gasket .
