Blown Head Gasket Repair Cost

Blown head gasket repair cost can fluctuate dramatically from vehicle to vehicle.  For example, a blown head gasket repair will usually be much more expensive for a diesel engine than it would be in on a similar gas engine.  Similarly, an engine like a flat 4, V6 or V8 with 2 cylinder heads will cost more as you have 2 head gaskets to replace rather than 1 like a straight 4 or straight 6 cylinder engine will have.

Blown head gasket repair cost for your vehicle will also depend on some other factors like whether your vehicle has a timing belt or timing chain, the orientation of the engine and other factors that make the repair more or less difficult.

Blown head gasket repair costs can be difficult to estimate based on your vehicle since so many factors like the ones listed above.  Other things to consider into the cost are the cost of the new parts you will need to purchase.  If you plan on replacing the head gasket then obviously you will need to purchase one of those, but besides that, you may need a few other parts.  For example, most of the other gaskets that will be removed in order to replace your head gasket may be damaged or destroyed during the removal process.  This can include intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, valve cover gaskets, valley pan gaskets and even camshaft seals.

Also, there are some components that you should consider replacing as they are components or parts that will need to be removed in order to replace the head gasket so it can be cost effective to simply install new parts during the reassembly process to avoid having the do so much work again in the near future.  This can include components like timing belts, or timing chains and guides, cam or crank shaft seals, and even valve guides and seals.

All the factors can really make blown head gasket repair cost rise out of reach very quickly.  On some older or higher mileage vehicles, the cost of replacing a head gasket can quickly raise to more than the cost of purchasing a replacement vehicle.
