. How much is it usually to get it. Replaced

- Sat Aug 01, 2015 3:25 am #355105 There are a lot of factors when you're thinking about a head gasket replacement.

If it was caught early, it might just need a head gasket replacement. That is cheaper to do. I would say ~500

If it wasn't caught early and you've been running it with a bad head gasket, you would want to check the head for any signs of it being warped. If it is, it can cost you upwards of ~1000.

That isn't the only thing you check though. If it has been bad for quite awhile and you know you've seen a lot of white/gray smoke coming out of your exhaust, your catalytic converter may have gone bad as well as the O2 sensor.
