Head Gasket Reapair Costs
Head Gasket repair including parts for $495..including stat. Good deal? I just hope when we get the heads off they're not warped or cracked. Found a guy who's a GM repair tech with ten years of experience at a Chevy dealership and just replaced a
head gasket on a 05 Malibu with 45k miles |
That seems good, I did the repair with my dad but $205 for head gasket set, $350 for head work, and $50 for random parts.
|
I didn't include oil/filter and coolant but still. I bought the gasket set (fel pro steel intake) head gasket local $170 and $325 labor. Crossing my fingers this fixes my coolant leak once and for all.
|
thats a pretty costsly way of diagnostics lol
|
Maybe, maybe not. Intake and head gasket problems are commom faliures on these engines. With 115k on the engine and only $1900 invested in the car..not a lot invested
|
So something you can go check out I don't know if we can still do it but look at this, it's the DEXCOOL CLass Action Suit.

I think the class action suit is pretty much dead. I won't put it (dexcool) back in my car though
|
Neither would I which is why I changed though it actually was due to faulty head gasket design.
|
i did a LIMG because of the dex cool.. i now run green coolent
|
dexpoop is the devil
run Green in my alero, Run Dexshit in my saturn |
Dex-Cool is great... it's the gaskets that were shitty... read up sometime. The LD9 nor L61 ever had an issue, it was only the crappy 3400's quality control. :)
Regardless I rock Prestone all makes/models. Green is pretty easy to identify compared with brown oil and red trans fluid. |
$495 is an absolute steal.
I replaced head gaskets on a 3100 and I think it was like... $400 worth of parts and fluids and all that. |

It's not even the 3400's fault. It's the gaskets. There are other engines with the same fate. Once you change the gaskets, there's no problem. |
