I have a 94 st stock motor and everything. however the engine like all Toyotas it got an oil leak 3 years ago I think I've tried random leak fixers here and there and nothing's fixed it completely and now I do believe my head gasket is blown or is about to go the car runs rich blows white smoke out the pipe and over heats super fast so its a pretty safe bet I think. my question is do you guys think its work fixing the motor up and having a shop look at it or just tell them to replace the whole stupid thing I'm guessing their both going to be expensive. oh! the motor has 200,000+ miles to if that helps thanks for reading!

To just do the head gasket, you can leave the motor in. Some of the other seals are more tricky, but you could remove it and have access to everything you need.... but def cheaper to remove a motor and replace some seals and a head gasket before you destroy the motor than it is to replace it.
