replacing head gasket

[ChrisCantSkate]

so ive got to replace mine. anyone had one replaced and know a rough estimate of what im looking to spend?

[IALuder]

i have done it but i got a receit of it being done before i bought it. it looked like 135 bucks for parts from the dealer and another 80-100 for labor.

sounds kinda of STEEP!!

depends on what other damage is caused, cause n my hatch im looking at at least a grand worth of parts, new gasket, new valve cove gasket, head cleaning, and just overall time, do not rush it, and make sure you clean everything cause 1 little spec of dirt can ruin the whole shebang

umm are u going to do it yourslef or at a dealer ?
at the dealer you are looking at 7-8hrs of labor plus a bucng of parts: timing package ( belts and water pump), head gasket, valve cover gasket, valve lash adjustament, fluids

im doing it myself


cant wait

[ChrisCantSkate]

im thinking of doing it myself since a friend of mine just got his garage stocked full of tools. but i wouldnt need the "timing package" as i just did that all about 15k miles ago

thats good, thats where it is going to suck on my car, i also have to replace the axles, oh and by the way, i didn't get the accord i was hopping, he wrecked it on the way here

axles are simple dont sweat those. and damn that sucks about the cord... something will come along
