240SX BHG (headgasket)?

ACDSupra7 · 12-02-2003, 08:45 AM

Hey guys, I'm KA24 stupid here. How much would it be to replace a blown head gasket for an '89 240SX.

A guy had a 5spd and told me to come pick it up for free. And I can't ignore a free car.

I guess no one likes you or doesn't know the answer, so I'll tell you. Look at the minimum of about 300 dollars. That will be a cheap shop. Most will be 500 and up easily. I would do it myself if I were you. Go buy a FSM and a chilton/haynes and get to it. Save the money for an exhaust or something. Go for it, don't be scurred, it's not hard.

not as much as a bhg on a supra!
pick it up it's free!!! And if you can't fix it or don't have the money to do it. I'll buy it off of you for 500 bucks.

That's pretty much what I thought. I was going to go to a yard and pick up the headgasket, then swap it over the weekend.

Dude, do it yourself. Bout 150 bucks

ACDSupra7 · 12-04-2003, 07:35 PM

Well, turns out that it was long-gone anyhow. But I've found another project 240sx I might do.

Is that a bad thing?

and why on god's green earth would you get a head gasket from a junkyard?!?!?! dont you know they have to be brand new or you will just be replacing a blown head gasket with (quite possibly) ANOTHER blown head gasket? you never know but why take the risk...
and if you cant afford a measley 30 bucks or so for a new head gasket then you are in the wrong motorsport.
