Heres the deal, to replace a head gasket it is obviously different by car and make and model, but a good formula to go by is about three to four times the cost of the parts.

The average cost of parts to do this job is around 3 to 4 hundred dollars so expect to pay around $1200 to $1600 on the job.

There are many ways other than that to figure it out like estimated hours.. On average a head gasket replacement will take 7 to 9 hours labor plus parts.

This is a good figure to use however, most vehicles that have a blown head gasket are quite old and you should use the cost of doing the job to consider whether it is better to replace it at that point. If the car is newer, then the repair cost should be compared to it's relative value, many vehicles are worth putting the money into

  • I have been buying cars and vans that have blown head gaskets for myself at a reduced cost and I have had great success repairing them without disassembling the engine. Its very simple to use and is a permanent repair. It costs 20.00 and its added to the radiator. It mixes with antifreeze and does work if you follow the simple directions. My cousin has a garage and has been using this stuff. Its very hard to find and is not found in part store's if you want any email me kerisvery@aol.com
