posted by  someone claiming to be Brad on  Thu Dec 14 11:02 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Help Need pointers on replacing head gasket 89 turbo. What machine work etc needs to be performed? Whats the best way to have head checked for cracks? Whats a good price for the machine work and the gasket set? If I have the work done whats an average price for performing the work? Labor and parts? Thanks all

Had a cracked headgasket and warped head (both as a result of overheating) on my '89 780 Turbo. I purchased the parts myself (intake & exhaust manifold gaskets, head gasket, new belts, new hoses, and thermostat) for around $150 total, then had the labor and machine shop work (the head had to be planed) done for around $300. Not cheap, but better than continually replacing radiators on the side of the road (I can now do that job in about 45 minutes w/ the tools I carry in the car)
