I was told there are trace amounts of HC in the cooling system and the error codes are PO300, PO301, PO302 miss fire and PO420 CAT efficiency. Copious amounts of blue/white smoke on first start up and also a decent oil leak in right front area near tire. Gas mileage has gotten bad recently also.

    To get an estimate on head repair, just use the repair pal estimator on home page, one note on these 2.4 camry engines-what I have seen is that the head gasket doesnt blow but the threads from the aluminum block come out, your only options are to replace the block/engine or have the threads time serted. I live in ramona, but my shop is down the hill in mira mesa, would be happy to help-thanks.
