What is the expected price to repair a head gasket?
I have a 2005 Honda Accord. I need to know how much it would likely cost as money is kinda tight.
Get three estimates. Guesses here will be unhelpful. Suffice to say it won't be cheap. Unless you DIY.
Get a manual and a torque-wrench. Do it all yourself.
You FAIL to state whether it's a FOUR or SIX cylinder. The cost will ll be very different, as it's almost twice as much labor for the six and harder to get to the bolts. Nor do you say HOW you "know" it's the head gasket, or WHY the gasket failed so early. Did some chump down the street "diagnose" it, or was it at a mechanic or the dealership -- or are you just making an ignorant guess? There's probably other damage if it severely overheated - it could even need a new block and/or head(s). In short, there are FAR too many variables to even guess. The heads are going to have to be removed for an accurate estimate. Bottom line - if that is the issue, it's going to cost more than you can afford ($2,000 to $6,000), and probably more than the car is worth.
- Would it be, a bad idea for me to try and fix a blown head gasket? Its for a honda. Stock d16 aftermarket rims and is 1500 with a blown head gasket. My dad is the best honda mechanic in my town. He would be guiding me through it. Also the car had 137k miles and good paint. How much would it be worth if it was fixed?
- How much is an 89 honda prelude si with blown head gasket worth? I have an 89 honda prelude si with almost 200k miles on it. Interior 10/10 exterior a 6/10. Head gasket is blown but still runs and drives good. All stock. How much is it worth? In boise id by the way
- Just fixed a blown head gasket? It's a 1998 honda civic ex 1.6L vtec just basically got everything back together. Nervous to start it back up. Basically my question is how can I get the air bubbles out of my radiator if there's any. Just want to make sure the antifreeze is flowing correctly
- Head gasket replaced, oil goes low? I have a 2002 Honda Civic. Less than a year ago I got the head gasket replaced/repaired. Ever since then, when I fill my oil up and drive for a few weeks, the oil is low to almost empty with no signs of oil leaking anywhere. I got my oil changed on the 2nd of June and today, the 28th, its practically empty again. What could cause this? I have also bought a bottle of Lucas Engine Oil Stop Leak
