Heads

lwhitetrash88l · April 5th, 2007, 11:13 PM

so heres the question, do I either take my heads in to a machine shop in the process of changing hte head gasket just to be safe and check them for warpage and have them grinded down or whatever if need, buy new heads, or just not worry about it at all?

lwhitetrash88l · April 5th, 2007, 11:14 PM

oh and also roughly how much do you think it costs to get them machined or whatever?

THSCO08 · April 5th, 2007, 11:17 PM

im in the same friggin boat. dude. really it depends on how much money you have.

THSCO08 · April 5th, 2007, 11:19 PM

it cost around 80 or so to have them pressure tested. depending on whether or not they are cracked/warped your lookin at about as much as it cost to buy new ones. around 500 bucks i think.

lwhitetrash88l · April 5th, 2007, 11:22 PM

thats fucking nuts, i def dont have that type of money....im thinking maybe just try some of that sealer shit you dump in the engine its called like BARRS LEAKS or some shit. pour a few bottles in it and go trade the bitch in

THSCO08 · April 5th, 2007, 11:24 PM

yep, i have the same problem. im taking my heads off myself bc labor for a mechanic to do it is like 300, you might as well put a used engine in it.

What I would do is snag them from a junkyard stang, and them send em in somewhere so your car doesnt have any down time.
