How much should I expect....

Haven't a clue, but you need to find out why the gasket failed and you will want to check the head is not warped...so its a bit like how long is a piece of string.
I'll take a stab at the gasket and depending where you go I would have thought £200-£400. I'm sure someone with more knowledge on prices will be along soon.0 -
£48.98 for the gasket set.
Then the labour and skimming
It'll be a bit more involved than Keith suggests im afraidbut wouldn't say more than Hintza's top end quote. £200 is a bit optomistic IMO though.

would the head not neet to be stripped prior to skimming?
If so thats got to be a fair bit of time? 8/16valves removed and replaced with new seals etc.
I'd have said £400 minimum myself. Havent the yaris engines got that VVTI thing a bit like Vtec?Those who risk nothing, Do nothing, achieve nothing, become nothingMFW #63 £0/£5000
