just pulled my plugs out, no6 has traces of water and rust on the end of the plug
not happy what's the going rate to get a recon head supplied and fitted in perth? i live near bunbury actually, but usually there's better deals to be found in perth, have had a quote from pinjarra for $12-$1300, they want the car overnite, 7hr labour no time to do it myself car's still fine to drive, obviously not for too much longer tho, coolant level is holding ok |

Pay extra and get an AU metal head gasket fitted.

crying over a headjob? tears of joy?
you dont need a recon head, usually you should be able to take it to a mechanic get them to change it and get the head shaved if required for about 1000 bucks or just under?

the quote was for a recon head
the cars done about 170,000ks maybe i'll be better off fitting a recon in the long run, don't know what the condition of mine is, i do know it'd need shaving at the very least also could be corrosion etc |

my last head gasket was $690 inc new battery and it was good for 3 years and 100,000klm. A country mechanic will be half the price. You can dtrive for years with water injections no worries just top up the coolant every few days....I did LOL I am starting to lose coolant again but I am unsure if its's external or internal. Steamy exhaust has me believing it's the worst.
