How much is a new head gasket with installation on a 95 Mustang?
Q. I am considering buying a 95 Mustang for my first car and the only thing it needs is a head gasket. The car is already priced way below KBB at $800 so how much would a head gasket installed be? Also is this a good deal even though the car is not inspected? And can a car run a little bit without a head gasket?

A. Hi: Short answer. DO not buy this car. If the head gasket is shot the main bearings may also be washed out from having coolant in the engine. You could spend from $500 bucks to $1500 depending on wether you need to have the heads or block machined etc as they may have been warped by the engine overheating when the gasket let go, then have to rebuild the entire motor a month later when the bearings come to a screeching halt. Either get a new/ used motor and replace the entire thing or stay away from the car altogether. And No, a car can not run without a head gasket. After about 10 miles the motor will seize up. russ

When replacing a head gasket would a mechanic ever re-use the exhaust gaskets?
Q. I had my head gasket replaced on my 2001 Subaru Forester about 2 months ago, and just had to go back yesterday to find out that my exhaust gaskets were leaking. Wouldn't that be part of any gasket kit? And would a mechanic ever re-use old gaskets when doing such a big job?

A. The exhaust gaskets on your engine are quite high quality and can usually be reused (except in the states where salt is used on the roads in winter) with no leaks. They are not automatically included in any Subaru factory head gasket "kit". The fact that they apparently were not leaking initially when you first got the car back suggests improper tightening of the nuts securing the exhaust system. To replace the gaskets should take about 20 minutes and no more leaks.

A. This is a very difficult job on this car, especially if its turbo. If you have not changed head gaskets before, you won't want this one to be your first. If the car ran with water in the oil the crankshaft will be damaged too. Consider getting another used engine. If you do take the heads off, you'll get a "top end gasket kit" should have everything you need and then some. Get a service manual or all-data account. Read it. Take the heads to check for flatness and pressure checked at a machine shop.

A. The headgasket sits between the head and the cylinder block to keep combustion pressure from leaking out. Its a fairly important part of the engine. Common signs of headgasket failure: coolant in the oil oil in the coolant white smoke out the exhaust erratic overheating coolant leaking onto the block and spark plugs that look 'steam cleaned'

If you suspect your head gasket is leaking oil, will taking the head off confirm it?
Q. If I take off the valve cover and then take off exhaust, intake & head, will I be able to tell by looking at the old gasket whether or not it was the head gaskets fault?

A. It's not. Maybe your valve cover gasket, or valve guide seals. Spray it down with carb cleaner, then watch where it comes from. If not, see if any plugs are oiley, that'll be valve guide seals.

A. The head gasket is placed between the block and the head. This is used to allow the head to be separated from the block for repair. There are many channels and ports that run from the block to the head. Oil, coolant, and combustion. Keeps these 3 elements where they belong. The car can continue to run with it blown. This is not cheap to repair. Need to have the head surfaced and if it is to thin to shave,warped, or cracked it will have to be replaced. While it is off the car need to have valves redone. Total cost in a shop probably 800 to 2000 depending on the shop, condition and repair needed. Yes it could effect the car and still have problems after repair. It is very important to know how long it has been this way and if it still runs.… [cont.]

Can a head gasket be blown but have no visual damage?

Is it possible to have a leak and not really be able to tell visually?This is on a Dodge 4.7 Before I took it apart it ran really hot one time then started running really rough. The spark plugs on one head were all wet. After I took it apart though I see no visual damage to the gasket.

Q. Ok i was having random and multiple misfiring codes thrown.I took the heads off but the gasket doesn't really show no visible damage. Is it possible to have a leak and not really be able to tell visually?This is on a Dodge 4.7 Before I took it apart it ran really hot one time then started running really rough. The spark plugs on one head were all wet. After I took it apart though I see no visual damage to the gasket.

Mechanics-What sealant do you use when replacing head gasket?
Q. '88 Toyota Tercel head gasket-sealant that's resistant to gas? Also-is the gasket dry fit to the block, and only the top side next to the head gets sealant? Or both sides? After adhesion, is it ok to go ahead and torque the head to spec or will that squeeze out all the adhesive/sealant? The only Permatex product I could find for head gasket useage was a copper based spray-on... What do you professionals recommend? Thank you all very much. No sealant it is. I can handle this-IgnorantAthiest, we'll hafta use your poppa next time I need a head job.

A. I dont think I would use a sealant at all. the head has high heat. Your gasket should have copper or some kind of metal in the gasket that goes around each cylinder. sealant at that temp will fail.
