Head gaskets?


my sc was running a little hot lately and i figured it was the thermostat, so i ended up getting a coolant system check just to be safe, and i find out that its almost certain that i have a blown head gasket because of an internal leak. so im gonna get a compression test and find out forsure. but my question was , has anybody had there heads done? and how much am i looking at?

Re: Head gaskets?


If it's done at a dealer your almost certain to pay anywhere
from $1000-$1500.
Personally if I had access to another vehicle for a week or
two I would do it myself and save myself the $900 labor
bill.
Or maybe see if maybe Raj or Len could help you out.

Hope its not the head gaskets!
Good Luck!
