Toyota Prius Head Gasket replacement step by step

Welcome back to ‪@AutoScholarwithMrB‬! Today we go over all the steps you need to replace your head gasket in your 2010-2015 Toyota Prius. The Lexus CT200h is the same engine and should be the same procedure.
This is a fairly complicated job, but can be done with little tools and some mechanical ability. The range of prices to do this job are $3500-$4500 if you get it done professionally and most of that cost is labor. Doing this yourself can save you thousands of dollars. I recommend replacing the thermostat, water pump, PCV valve, and timing chain. Also if you need the intake and EGR system cleaned, now is the time to do it. I recommend using Toyota OEM parts with exception of the head gasket itself. FEL-PRO makes a better gasket according to my research and experiences.
There are people that say that there is no need to get the cylinder head machined, but I do it every time. I got mine done at Bo's Machine Shop in Augusta, GA for $115. This included a pressure test, planing of the mating surfaces, and checking the valves.
