If you do it yourself, the gasket it probably like 50, intake gasket 30 , plus new head bolts, anywhere from 5-10 dollars each. if the head needs resurfacing its like 50, plus valve job is 140, --

the average, if you do it your self is about 500-

now if you have block damage, or severe head damage, that cost will go up significantly, and i dont know why you are replacing your head gasket or i could help you out with the price better.. leave a comment and i will answer your questions if you want.

if you take it to a dealer, it will be anywhere from 1500average to 3000 and up for significant damage..

why are you replacing head gasket?

1999 Cadillac eldorado overheating. Changed thermostat, still overheating now with white smoke coming from exhaust. Checked water pump belt, it is there and turning. Cold air blowing from heater, no heat.

coolant leaking into engine probably blown head gaskets. More damage will occur the more you drive it. Unfortunate and expensive repair on a northstar.

99 Ford Expedition, seems to be overheating and shuts off on me. Check engine light on. What could it be

Well, not knowing anything other than what you have posted....the first thing I would do is check the fluid level. If you have done that and it is okay then the thermostat could be the next step. Next would be the water pump.....

While checking things out, have your Expedition sit there in the driveway with the engine running at idle (in park) and with the hood open, see if your fan kicks on....if it doesn't after your engine heats up to operating temperature (about 5-8 minutes running at idle) check the fuse.

This should get you started in the right direction....checking the fan/fuse/fluid is free and can be done immediately!

I have a ford windstar 1998 that has steam comming out of it. Antifreeze is pouring out of the exaust system, is this a head gasket problem? and on average how much to fix this type of problem

Sounds like the exhaust side of your head gasket is blown! If you have a mechanically inclined friend, cost could be minimal! if not, could be very costly! To do it yourself, it can be done in half a day (about 4-6 hours)!

5.4 engine have water n oil and blows water out of resivor tank

Blown heads for sure. This will require at minimum head job and new gaskets. Possibly may have cracked the heads themselves or even the engine block. Only way to know is to have someone take it apart if you decide to repair this engine. This was most likely caused by overheating the engine which may be other problem like bad water pump or hoses. No matter your choice it will be quite expensive. Swapping engines with another used one may be the same cost but have bonus of lots of free parts.

Head gasket blown. What is approximate cost to

    Considerations
  1. Many internal engine problems, such as a blown head gasket, cracked head or cracked piston, can be repaired without having to replace an entire engine.
  2. Potential
  3. While taking the time to replace an engine may seem labor-intensive and costly, it will add years to a vehicle's life and will save a car owner from the cost of having to buy a new car.
  4. Benefits
  5. Taking a car to a mechanic and replacing an engine with a used engine can cost between $1,000 to $2,000 for parts and labor.
  6. Solution
  7. Car owners interested in replacing their engines with new ones can expect to pay anywhere between $2,000 to $4,000.
  8. Speculation
  9. For those interested in doing the engine replacement themselves, purchasing specialized tools needed for the job is a cost to consider in addition to the price of a replacement engine.
