my subaru blew a head gasket yesterday, i need somethin for around $1500 in the southampton area, i want a pick up but will take just about anything that runs good and will pass inspection... any help would be appreciated

pretty sure you could get the head done for around that, maybe cheaper.

No way!!! h head on that will be more especially if its warped and needs to be cut machined down. thats a easy 2 grand...

Last time I sent a head to be magnafluxed it was $300. new head bolts and a gasket kit another $200. If I were still turnin' wrenches I'd do it for $1500 in a heartbeat[hihi]

i do it every day for the past 15 years. guess u havnt worked in a shop lately @$105.00 an hour it adds up...and its a subuaru, not a easy honda civic or suntin..............

this cars got 267,000 miles on it and i already spent about $500 getting it fixed this summer im not puttin another grand into, besides the head gasket it also needs a new water pump, the wheel alignments off, it has a shake when your driving, i put a new starter in it and it still doesnt fire up every time you turn the key, plus who knows what the hell else went wrong after i drove it 30 miles after the gasket blew and it was overheating and shooting out smoke the whole time... as much as i like the car its trashed
