Pretty sure my head gaskets are going to go any time now (if they haven't already)...leakage around the head where it meets the block..always smelling coolant..drained the coolant and it pretty much looked like I was draining the engine oil. Whats a reasonable price to expect for repair. :rolleyes2:

Well if it is infact the head gaskets you will be replacing the LIMG again.

Enjoy!

I would say about a $800 to a grand

the avg LIMG repair is about $600, the heads are only 6 or 8 more bolts to remove ;)

Gotta remove the exhaust... Thats a chore in itself... Especially when the studs break or wont budge...
