Headgasket price?

Post by Wabby »

Hi Guys,

So I think from my other thread 'Header Tank?' that the headgasket has gone.

Just rang local dealer who advises I first try a brand new radiator cap, and if that fails, it is the head gasket.

He has quoted me between £150 & £200 to change headgasket, and says while he is in there he will check valve clearance etc for me, and replace (price depending on price of shimms?) and also check cam chain and adjuster for me.

Does this price seem ok?

Anything else I should get him to check over for me while he has the engine out?

Cheers

It's including the headgasket - Any shims are extra, and if needs a new camchain, then that will be extra also.

Looks like it is the headgasket aswell, as I have changed the radcap and still the same issue :smt010
