How old is your engine, how many miles ? If it really is the head gasket, you might find you can buy and fit a used engine for less than that.

As Stevie says- see if you can get a used engine out of a crashed IS200. There are IS200's always being broken on ebay.

New engine will be a lot to fit though, TGT charged something like £600 to remove and fit an IS200 engine when I sold my old one.
