Re: Headgasket replacement cost? Posted by Roger D [Email] (#1121) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Roger D) on Fri, 8 Jul 2016 21:53:34 In Reply to: Re: Headgasket replacement cost?, SeaSaab, Fri, 8 Jul 2016 21:37:41 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I've done at least 15 HG jobs. One of the significant expenses is the machine shop. They want hundreds for a head service. I've rarely used them. If the car was running and the HG just gave out from age they should only need the HG and valve cover gasket. I've done a number of those without machine work.Just check for warpage with a straight edge. Never had a problem except my first one. I didn't know about the dab of Loctite 518 around the oil return passage opening. It's been seeping a little oil there for 15 years.
