Either way. I'm still in need of an head gasket.

My dad wants to take it to a mom and pop shop to get it looked at. So that will be the next move.

How much does it cost to have a head gasket replaced?

I can't. My dad has no more that a ratchet set and I wouldn't know where to begin.

Well… You could always try and use a sealer I guess.

ALLDATA has it at a 7hr job for both sides plus 1hr for AC. Plus you may or may not have a diag fee which is usually a .5hr minimum. $100/hr labor would put you at $850 labor plus $60 for the gasket. It would also be wise to replace the intake gaskets while thats being done as well.

If you do each side individually its 5.3 for the right bank and 4.9 for the left. Again with a +1hr for AC.

I don't think my uncle has any experience with engine work. I appreciate that you would help me but my parents wouldn't allow me to try and fix myself.
