2012 Prius head gasket?

Asked by Guru9J4C81 Apr 16, 2023 at 09:50 AM about the 2012 Toyota Prius Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Car shook 30 yds on startup, then ran fine. Google said EGR valve, replaced.
Check engine still on. Took to dealer, they said head gasket. Car NEVER
overheated, never smoked and did not replace water. Drive 400 miles RT twice
a week. Will blue magic gasket sealer work?

Never trust the dealership. Have an independent shop test for blown headgasket, could be fuel quantity problem, what was the code?
