if you can help me out i got a quote from the shop i used to love but they want $2000 for a head gasket job!!!!! i feeel like im getting kicked in the sack

Is it a 22re or 3.0? That sounds very hi..... Go get another quote.

surferkid26

of course its the 3.0 and yeah i know i need to

I rebuilt and hopped up my entire 22re for $2k, and that's with a NEW head!

that's redunkulous...

I'd say MAYBE half that; there's a lot of work sure, but comon... it's just the top end of the motor... maybe 16 hours of labor for one guy, POSSIBLY two, the gasket set and new head bolts, and the resurfacing of the heads...


but then again, I'm purly throwing out a guess; I've never had a shop do such extensive work personally, I've always done the work myself

Is this your Daily Driver? Do you have the time to do it yourself? I have a 95 3.0 that I just did both head gaskets on.
I ended up paying for:
Head resurfacing , 3 exhuaust val (burned), presure tested, 150.00 per head
The rest was all my time, 100.00 for the gaskets, water pump, timing belts, and tensioner.
All in all the job was to bad and Yotatech centainly helped.

this is my daily driver and i love my baby i am a college student working 20 hours a week minimum wage and dont really have time to do it myself i could but i know i would mess something up

well that does put you in a position huh, I say just get a few more quotes and let'em kick you in the sack

MuddinRI

I'd get a few more quotes then... 2k is way too much you can buy a whole motor for that. Post on here maybe someone in your area needs work? That is if you can't/don't want to do it yourself.
