Time for Head
Alright.... so anyone ever replaced their own head? What am I looking at as far as costs go... Just cause the place that she is at now wants to charge me $3600 to replace one head... and honestly I don't think that is worth it considering I only paid $6000 for the car, and have put twice that into repair bills in the past year and a half...

it's not too hard if your mechanically inclined, pull the intake, and anything attached to teh head, and it's off. Get a service manual for teh valve lash instructions, and specs
|
coolest thread name ever.
|
While you are at it, sounds like it is a good time for a LE1 or LE2 package. Prolly cheaper than just replacing it with replacement parts.
|
heck do a set of brodix, or other aftermarket heads for about the same money
|
hey cassie, i can do it for ya for 500 bucks.
|
Caleb... I may take you up on that... Russ said he would help 'if he had time'... which... well yeah... don't know what that means... lol...
|
sure. i mean i've swapped heads on my car before...i did the heads and entire valvetrain, took me 4 days straight. with just one head i can probably do it in a single day if i work fast. which side is it? and do you already have the head or do you need to purchase a new one?
|
You should be able to do it, i did it before it wasnt hard at all just remember what went where, youll be fine, good luck.
|
1650 for a le2 package and then if you know a mechanic thats not trying to **** you im sure you could get it done for like 3 or 4k at least thats my guess on both. Am i wrong guys

Heads aren't that hard..
here are the hardest parts- taking the egr stuff off the back of the intake and pass manifold and the coolant tube that connects the two heads together. Other than that its just time consuming... |
