Head gasket OEM Honda or OEM Toyota

The average cost for a Honda Civic Head Gasket Replacement is between $1,707 and $1,994.

According to Toyota themselves It’s caused by inadequate caulking on the head gasket itself. There is a revised part number head gasket that has better longevity but in order to solve the problem entirely the engine would have to be redesigned.

My HG went bad around 180k, with no EGR cleaning by the previous owner. It started to consume coolant pretty quick and smoke came out of coolant tank lol

Replaced HG is a few weeks, cleaned air intake manifold and EGR. Now, I’m hoping to get many more miles from it :)

The Civic has a question mark with it's L15 turbo engine and premature failing head gaskets. Same issues seen in CR-V's with that engine. Not everybody is going to experience it, but it shows up often and is definitely a design weakness in that engine.

Headgaskets blew in my 4Runner, 200 miles from home, one mile from an exit, during rush hour.

My 2020 Accord 1.5t has 80K miles and already had to do valve cover gasket and now head gasket is blown. Then there’s also the issue of the front radar sensor that is constantly getting stolen because some genius at Honda decided to put this $700 part in the front of the car with nothing protecting it; looks like Honda just decided to give absolutely no f*cks when building this masterpiece. Oops almost forgot, had to replace the full head unit for the radio because it just decided to stop working at 50K miles.

I did have one issue on my 2012 Sequoia, I had the dreaded leaking head gasket oil leak. Cost me a little over $2k to fix. Not common but man took me by surprise.

I have a 2010 Prius that has been a daily driver and has 425000km on it. It ran perfect with only brakes and oil changes until 390000km when the head gasket went. Mechanic said the engine wasn't powerful enough to harm itself and after the replacement it's been running great.

Ct200h or Prius 2zr-fxe because the headgasket will fail at 150k and you have to replace the pcv often because it gets stuck open and burns oil...

Did have to do head gaskets in the 4runner ten or so years ago but it hasn't had any other real issues.
