New heads are cheap now... would bother with a second hand one, you don't know if its about to go...

Dont go second hand..... you must do it properly
Buy a genuine toyota head & use genuine toyota head gaskets
You will also have to buy new head bolts.While there get a new water pump & get your radiator rodded to make sure its good .
If you dont do it properly it will only do it again.
Also there are 2 diff type of head & long & short valve.... also diff kinds & thickness of head gaskets.... purchase wisely

I've replaced 2 heads in the last 18 months (on different trucks). Definitely get a new head. They're cheap.
Last one cost under $1800 including a brand new radiator, external trans cooler, belts, oil, ATF and filters.
I've found Toyota are the cheapest for water pump, tensioner and belt.
Get rid the EGR while you're at it.
