how much including labour to change a head gasket in my 99 GSR? i'm friggin' pissed

 

why not try doing it yourself?

 

a head gasket isnt the most easiest thing to do. although i have no idea the time nor cost involved to do it. h:

 

please give me a ball park figure... im scared it will cost millions! how many hours do u think the job will take? cause my local acura dealership charges 60/hr.

 

At a dealership? At LEAST $400. If they're feeling nice.

 

I haven't done this change on my teg but have on other cars. The teg would take me longer becuase of where the head bolts are positioned under the cams but this should only take me about 5 hours for me to do and an experienced shop should be able to do it faster then me. I think 300 for labor and then about a 100 for the gasket set for an upper rebuild kit. There is your rough estimate but I suggest you just call a couple of local shop to get some prices.

 

thanks for all the info guys... the local Acura dealership wants to charge me 1100 parts and labour!!!! but a local reputable speed shop says 500 bucks parts and labour.

 

i think im going to wait a while until i have enuff to buy some CTR cams so i will do it all at once

 

HAHA! $1100. good lord.

yea..if you can, its best to wait to do it all at once.

 

because it's a tedious, PITA job, that requires precision.

Civic_GSR, what happened?
