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

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 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
