Thats it????? That low???

what the hell have I been driving this damn Legend around for then??? I kid you not....almost 3 grand for Legend repair bills like this....

I got lucky with that and found me some gaskets finally for under a hundred bucks....but otherwise the cheapest I have found has been no less than $265 A PIECE!!! Plus the labor to install....holy christ!!!

Around $500 is a steal for me....Supra...here I come!

i was quoted much higher for a BHG. around 1500. you can always ask around at local shops, see what you turn up with.

If you want a shop to change a HG, 500 is about right, if you want em to change a HG right, 1500 is about right. Resurfacing the head and block, if you're doing a MHG, head if just a regular HG is usually what shops don't do that charge 500.

haha....Im owned on that one. Actually the Acura aint bad....Ive seen over 140mph....but it aint no sports car...and it isnt fueling the thirst I have for a faster car....which is why the hunt started for a Supra in the first place...having been a family guy for years and now the wife is a ex....I wanna have a little fun....so no real need for a luxo liner no more.

I saw you have a line on a car out your way....I used to live in Tinley/Orland area......at times I wanna move back...but the cold keeps me away :lol:

either price...$500 or $1500 is still a steal compared to the Legend....no shop touching that for under 3 grand basically and they recommend doing a TB & WP at the same time.....or in other words...more $$.

I am assuming that BHG on these cars has the same basic symptoms....air in the rad, possible oil in the water, etc??

again....I dont mean to hijack anyones thread...but didnt want to open another since we are dealing on the same subject here.

TIA

the thing is the prices may vary from shop to shop

yes for a simple replacing the HG about 500 bucks

but HG, head machined, retorquing
i was qouted about 2000

and then rebuilding an engine after a BHG is whole nother story

saw in another thread you knew about a Supra out your way for about 3 grand area....aftermarket stereo and such.....stereo doesnt mean too much to me really....I use Sirius....about the only thing I need a stereo for is a signal :lol:

BUt I am looking....found a pretty nice one (I believe) in Texas I might go have a look at.....I know...long trip to just look....but I wont buy unless I have seen the car myself or have someone I trust go through it ya know?
