Im new here and I was just searching around for a headgasket set, and I came across this EBAY ITEM

I need everything thats in this kit. esp the MLS Head gasket. What do you think? I also know that ModernPerformance also has one, but this one is cheeper.

*mod edit to shorten the link...use the link button people

 

Personally I wouldn't go CHEAP on a HG kit. Get a kit that uses Fel-Pro gaskets.

 

So go ahead and get the one on Modern Performance? i also went to Autozone and Advance Auto parts store, and they told me 130.+ for Fel-Pro. I think i will go ahead and get the on on Modern Performance. thanks das2123

 

I would only because I know it's good quality.

 

I have a couple more questions, how long would it take for an average person to install the whole kit? Is there anything I need to pay special attention to? Or should I just have a professional do it? $800.00+[:'(]

 

dealer prices aren't that bad either

 

How much do they do it for on average? I was just guessing on the price. I really want to try to do this myself but I dont want to **** it up. Are there any how to's on this?

 

Pick a good weekend and do it. Shouldn't take you longer than that. Remember to use baggies and label them with what bolts/nuts go to what.

After that, you will be able to change one in a few hours

 

get a manual for it, theres a special order that you tighten the bolts up for the head. you mite also want to change your timing belt while you got the head out. nothin really to it, jus gotta remember where each bolt comes from. also wanna make sure your cams are lined up properly, dont wanna do all that work an end up bendin your valves.....

dun mean to scare you wit all that, jus givin you a heads up.

 

I know you want to do it yourself, but ill add this info...

I paid $750.86 at the Dodge dealership to get the headgasket, timing belt and timing belt tensioner all installed, had my car back within the week.

I work at a garage and have all the tools and know how but its a pain in the a$$ tearing it all down and hoping its right... in my opinion



theres my $0.02






P.S. i have found it easier to do a complete friggen engine swap then screw around changen the guts (read as i beat my car), $125 an engine on a skid @ local parts yard
