head gasket

[carlie]

my head gasket has blown in my r32 gts-t,

would i be better just replacing the motor or just getting the head done.

And what cost are involved?

thanks heaps

Get the genuine nissan head gasket and then since u already have the engine apart get the head ported and polished, highstrenght valve springs, bronze retainers, 264 duration cams, chrome molly valves etc.

Dont know cost of a stock head gasket but an aftermarket copper is around $400 at the moment

inasnt: she's trying to save costs you goon, not build a race car!

carlie, you should be able to get it fixed if you are lucky for $500-$800 or so - and assuming no further damage. New motor would be around $1k at least for an RB20DET

u dont need a new engine.

as long as there is no other damage, which their hopefully isnt, just get the head done.

Predator lol you put that reply in such a funny way you have me laughing big time :wassup:

thanks for all the replys guys im really hoping it is just the head and im going to get the motor pulled apart so somebody can tell me, are they easy to pull apart i have a friend whos a mechanic but he is a holden mechanic lol :Oops:

i am really just trying to save money but maybe i have to realize cheapest is not always the best ohhhhhhhhh im really confused

[doxximus]

i was thinking same thing as jet? unless there has been other damage, only the gasket would need replacing?

yurp, and dont use a holden mechannic, haha, hell NO!

its that big of a job to take the head off......much easier than having to do the bottom end.

Unless you build a car INASNT, otherwise i really think one from Nissan will just do the job fine, but best to get hold of an imported one, not something from Repco.

i know a guy who had the same thing done recently and it cost him $1100

I did mine in the warmth of my garage with Slip. Next time I'm using an engine crane to take the head off. eerghh
