not a clue of what it would cost at a shop, possibly 500 to 1000 price range depending on?, unless you have no tools and no knowledge id recomend doing it yourself, there are a few good DIY's on here for that, mite be worth it to take a look :thumb:

an OEM HG runs $40-50
Check to see when the timing belt & water pump were last replaced. When doing the head gasket is the ideal time to replace them while the engine is apart.

aside from the typical like excessive smoke and what not. ?
