It depends on the skill of the mechanic. It can take anywhere from 4-10 hrs. now if your head gasket is warped you will have to take it to have it milled that takes from 1 day to several days. if not you can just buy a completely new one that fits perfectly for about $150.

Nothing. There is nothing you can add to the coolant that will repair a blown head gasket or cracked head.

The only permanent fix is to open the engine up, replace the head gasket or head if necessary. STOP driving your Toyota immediately or you will have severe permanent engine damage.

The head or heads will have to be remove and inspected for cracks or warpage. You then replace the gasket and reinstall the head. Drain the oil and change the filter. Replace the thermostat and pour in fresh coolant. Unless you ran it hot or drove it for a long period of time in this condition you may be ok. If you just kept driving it then you will have damage to the rings and bearings an the engine may need an overhaul. Really depends on how long the engine was driven with a blown gasket.
