Head Gasket Failure Pic

I ended up getting a rebuilt head from this place in Alabama cylinder heads inc. 1 800 597 9813. It was only $265 delivered no core return needed. My local machine shops wanted $262 for a full reconditioning not including any parts if needed. It didn’t need a full reconditioning, but the head was warped where the break in the gasket occurred. I probably could have got away with just resurfacing it, but if I’m going to do all this work I would opt for the full hot tank, pressure test and a valve job. FCP Groton for the most part has excellent prices, is charging some were around $550 + a hefty core charge. The quality of the new head was great I highly recommend ordering from them if in need.
