Replace head gaskets....whats a fair price........... There's not too many shops in my area (Lauderdale) that I trust, just curious how much this complete job costs. I might have to drive 3-4 hours to a good shop. Gaskets and all?

No tunning is needed if the gaskets are the same thickness however if the thickness is changes it will change the CR therefor it may be slightly off however nothing noticable. By the way this is joe with the red TA.

EDIT: Check this site for price http://www.exoticperformanceplus.co...s.php?service=8 The head install goes for $520 which is likely the same for gaskets call and see what they would charge and tell me what you would pay and ill see if I want to do it

I've been flying the whale (nickname for the Boeing 747) a little bit throughout Asia, Middle East and Russia. Friggin 14 hour flights suck though
I've also been flying corporate jets out of Miami for a couple private companies, thats the fun flying. I might be going to Jedda, Saudi Arabia for a 24 day contract on January 5th.
If I can't get this done before then, it'll have to be sometime afterwards.

Once all the parts are in I can do it in 2 or 3 days no problem as long as nothing goes wrong (wrong parts or something) I wouldnt rush at all because I know it has do be done right. When would be good for you? My car is apart right now because I got a front end from AJE along with brakes and a few other goodies going in so I cant do it right away but even if im in school I can do it on the side just going to have to take a little longer because school comes first you know? So its just up to how soon you need it back. If you go off flying I wont mind keeping it for a while Just tell me what you want to do and ill see if its cool with my dad and all.
