It's really hard to tell how much it will cost to fix this because you don't know how much damage has been done to the engine itself because of the blown head gasket. Assuming you caught it early and there is no damage to the engine, you are looking somewhere between $1100 - $1400. A website you can look at that gives you prices for repair estimates is http://www.repairpal.com. Thanks for rating my response but please let me know if you have any more questions before deciding you give a poor rating. Thanks for using FixYa!

2003 nissan altima has water on spark plugs

look for a crack in the cylinder head or a blown head gasket. If the gasket is bad then have the head ground flat at a machine shop before replacing the gasket.

Blown head gasket 2005 altima

About $2200 to repair in the USA, to get a competent job. I'd recommend using genuine parts as well.

Blown head gasket

Well it would really depend on the condition of your engine.
It would take more labor to repair your engine than it would to just replace it. But unless the engine is very damaged it should be cheaper to have your engine fixed. And replacing the head gasket and having the head repaired should be under the price you were given. A head gasket set for a 4 cyl engine is around $100 wholesale.
I would call around and check with other shops next.

A 98 nissan altima i replaced blown head gasket and head i used a older head 2 years older the older head has 2 more bolts for the cams my question is can i still use the same camshafts

Yep, I would use the same camshafts. The engine you used if from a 96. It is a different engine, but if everything is sealed up and mates up ok, then it should work.

Nissan altima 1998

I am not sure what you mean by a wet plug. If oil has fallen into the plug cavity simply remove the plug rubber boot (gently twist it off or you can break the connector under the rubber cap) and using an absorbant rag or towel to soak up the oil. Any oil residue film left will not affect the car- you may get some smoke from the oil burning off the hot plug.
