Sorry for this question guys but I couldnt find what I was looking for when searching. But I have a metal head gasket I want to install with some studs but how much can it possibly cost. The cheapest place I found around here in Orem Utah is a placed called parts for imports and it will cost me $800. IS this right, does anybody know any place that is cheaper here in the wasatch front of Utah? Or anybody personally?
Thanks

why not do it yourself, I am

I would love to do it myself, the only problem with that is that I am sixteen and dont know what Im doing, even though my dad is a pretty good mechanic he dont want to touch a BH.

that seems to be the going price, if not higher. remember theres a lot of labor in the price, and at most shops $50-$100 an hour for labor, it won't be cheap.

thats why most here do it themselves or get help from nearby experienced supra owners

Hey man if you have tools i mean basic rachet set and other small things you can do it. You dont need to be a car freak to do a BHG juss follow the directions of the online TSRM . I am 18 so i dont have much more experiance than you and i am doing one, just take your time and use baggies to mark all the bolts. you will be fine.

p.s. the only thing a good mechanic is scared of with a BHG is time. do it yourself and ask him questions when you come to them.

i was quoted between $500 and $800 depending on the condition of the head, but thats in jersey

unfortunatly i dont have enough time to do this myself, and my car is a daily driver, so i need minimal downtime. since i have no idea what i am doing, then i know it will take me a very long time

did it myself with no past experience in my garage at 20 degree temperatures for 100 bucks

There is not one single question about BHG's that you could not find the answer to by searching.

Does $800 include the machine work? If so I would jump on that price.

I'd do it for $800 if you'd ship it to PA.

By "BH" do you mean blown head? Or are you calling a headgasket (HG) a BG?


Anyways that's a little much, 800 and you already have the gasket?
