Replacing head gasket on Toyota Previa

A common problem on older Previas is the head gasket blows..

Samay Sengamphan shows how to replace it. Pictures belongs to Samay.

"Doing head gaske job with engine in the van is the best way... less parts to remove and alot less mess." - Samay Sengamphan




Samay Sengamphan:
"I believe you can still get one from Toyota.or maybe online source(Amazon, Rockauto.com, Partsgeek). If you cannot get Toyota OEM, next best option is either Beck-Arnley or Felpro; I wouldn't settle with none other than these brand."

Toyota Previa Camper, conversion

Micro Campervan

Eric Petersen has made the most beautiful conversion of a Toyota Previa that I have seen. He also has a Youtube channel (GotMountains.ca) with some videos explaining the build.

Take a look.

" It will seat 6, has lots of storage for one or two people (more on roof) and has a shelf unit that can switch to a closet to hang a suit if needed. I usually just use it as shelves for now. Its a fully outfitted RV with 200Ah of batteries, water/sink/tap, large inverter, 12V fridge, ability to connect to shore power, portable 2 burner stove, etc. I have a folding bag toilet but seldom use it as restrooms are generally easy to find." - Eric Petersen




"The seat unit slides forward to allow someone to sit in the back like the old rumble seats did. Once it's slid all the way to the back, the seats pull forward to make a double bed (a little smaller than a double). It leaves about 6" between the front of the bed and the cabinet behind the passenger seat." - Eric Petersen


" also made a roof box in front of the roof top tent. I had a friend who worked at Pelican so I got 2 big boxes and it added a lot of storage. If you have a trailer hitch, you could also add some there."

"I have (3) 100W Solar panels with one 127 ah Lithium battery.  Running my freezers 24/7 and it uses about 20% of the battery for the night.  Day time the battery is recharged to 100% by 11 am." - Si Fu
