SignUp Now!Blowing head gasket usually requires more work than the labor to replace the gasket and the parts themselves. If it's a steel or copper and its making any power chances are it did more damage than the head gasket. The damage done might not reveal itself right away either.
I guess some of you have not read the issues he has been going through with this motor. Sorry to hear about the loss. What were the details of the head gasket blowing event? Boost, fuel, timing, etc...
$1000
Your suffering from "Datdamnbuick" syndrome. When these cars give us issues back to back without time to enjoy the time and dollars spent in between we get frustrated, demoralized, and start to think everyone is working against us, or just doesn't give a sh!t. Its a phase. You need to sit back and clear your head. Find one person to deal with and make sure you two are on the same page. Goals, money, knowledge and trust. Then you can have some success. Don't blame Dale unless you can point out his mistakes like you found with Webber.
Dale is blaming Weber. Weber is blaming me.
I just cannot afford Dale! It cost me $5,850 for a Turbo (6266 jb), turbo saver, line lock, oil pan gasket (over $400 labor), motor mounts, map install, wires, and a tune which resulted in a blown head gasket.
He wants $2,700 to replace the head gaskets. That is way too much.
