March 21, 20187 yr Not sure on 12v but here is mine https://mopar1973man.com/topic/12772-head-gasket-leaking-oil/
March 24, 20187 yr A lot of that is going to depend on how much work you need or want to do to head once it is off.
March 24, 20187 yr I would shop around and compare before committing. And make sure they don't just do brakes as everyday thing and just need extra work, I'd go to a machine shop first that actually works on motors every day and can do their own machine work. Unless you know some good back yard mechanic you can trust. Not easy to find good help at good price, that's why I'm still doing what I can myself. Seen to many a fu.. it it will be alright just put it back together.
March 24, 20187 yr Author Place priced 1388 for head work new headstuds coolant oil change new gaskets and ac service
March 25, 20187 yr I spent 1000 just on the head, but I had to put in new guides and do the valve job that added up, plus pressure test and mag it. And it was considered fair priced. So be aware if guides are wore they will call you and ask you your plan. Or just throw it back together. Just saying seems a bit cheap especially with new studs. Plus labor, something ain't right.
March 25, 20187 yr The factory studs are actually bolts and a lot cheaper. Nothing wrong with them unless you plan to add a lot power. That would help explain some of the lower cost.
Anyone have a write up and tools list on changing headgasket on a 12 valve
