depends if the head needs skimming, i would say a garage would charge about 250-300 for this job | |

it aint too bad man, if ya aint done it before give ya self a full day, just remember to watch the timing side of things lock the cams and the crank at TDC so ya know ya wont get it wrong when ya put it all back. All i would say is get a torx sockets set, the star shaped ones, and a tourqe wrench with the torque settings to hand and its quite straight foward | |

head gaskets are cheap, normally about £30, but ya gotta get new head bolts £10 and cam belt £16ish to do this properly, might get away with changin other gaskets like top inlet manifold one etc | |

your cam belt aint snapped has it, could have holed a pison, or ya valves are bent and stuck open, or its just a gasket, whip the head off and have a look | |

what happened last time you drive it, did it suddenlys die, or has it just decided not to work on this occasion, could be gasket, do a wet test to check the rings | |
