Head Gasket Repair Price ???
Please tell me what I should have to pay (approximately, of course) for this head gasket job in California, gentlemen? [Give me labor costs only, as I will buy the parts myself from SubaruParts.com (I have many already)]
After I hear from two or more of you, I will let you know the quote i got from the Subaru dealer here! THANKS again for your help! P.S. What are spark plug tube gaskets? [The bolt grommets are what they call (the metal/rubber) washers, right?

Spark plug tube gaskets is a misnomer. The rocker cover uses three gaskets - a large peripheral gasket and two smaller interior gaskets that allow spark plug access. The reason they are packaged/sold separately is because they were sourced from two different vendors.

It sure is. But from my experience retail customers have an easier time understanding what you mean when you call them spark plug tube gaskets, since they keep the spark plug tubes free of oil. 6 of 1, half dozen of the other. Dave |
