Thread: Cylinder head buggered???

What year/model hilux.

KZN1## series cars with the 1KZ-TE are prone to cracking the head, about 2k in parts from toyota (trade) About 1400 for the head alone. You can do a leak down test, and a TK head check test. Take it to a decent diesel specialist. some one like Taupo Diesel Solutions Limited Taupo Area | Yellow® NZ as I assume your in taupo from our messages. I would take it to them for a diagnosis, and then deal with it. I chucked some liquid glass in the old mans 1kz hilux late 2010, and it's still going strong.
