madmax_926 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 think i was qouted around £400 inc the skimming, get a athena gasket + some arp headbolts and its gonna be £600 odd maybe you should spend that bit more and go forged. i think the qoute i recieved was a little steep but hey.how did you blow it mate ?

ktl Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 £30-40 headskimmed, headgasket kit £110 headbolts £30-40 get a new cambelt and pulley whilst your doing it - inc a water pump!then labour is proberly going to be 2-3 hours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 You couldnt find a cost because it varies alot depending on the spec of parts installed/how friendly you are with the machinist/whos doing the labour workid first think of your power goals then shop according to that then lastly find a competent mechanic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
