kfahn Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 how devestating is this? What cost to repair if I'm not doing it? Quote
89oldscutlass Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 I think we charged $500 the last 3100 we did at my brothers garage. I would go ahead and port and polish them while there at the machine shop being resurfaced. Quote
quaddriver Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 how devestating is this? What cost to repair if I'm not doing it? I dont think u mentioned the motor, but if a 3.1: 10 hrs in and out all the way to the heads. $50 intake gasket regardless of gen2 or gen 3, about $100 more in head and incidental gaskets, $30 for head bolts (you CANNOT use them over) and about $75 to have the heads cut and cleaned (this can go up if there is damage), oil , coolant - Id say budget $1000 to get it done right at a place not all that metropolitan Quote
Robby1870 Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 Yeah, his motor is a 3100, so the same procedure as 3.1L, and Im with quaddriver on this, for a head gasket job, bet on $1000, and you better go ahead and do both gaskets while you're down there. If it were me, I'd save $900 or so and do it myself, its not really that bad, IMO Quote
