How much would it cost to get head studs installed? Do I need to buy a new head gasket as well?

 

no new head gasket and you are probably looking @ 4 hours labor @ somewhere around $100 per hours. and probably more being that you live in Massachusetts. that place is expensive. so ide say 4-$600 to install them depending on labor costs.

also ive got a buddy in Middleton, MA that would probably install them much cheaper than that but it would be done in his driveway no a shop. i can give you his number if you would like?

 

the studs are 419.00 on E-bay right now .. I just picked up some ...

Basically if you have the tools .. the only thing you will have to do " Outsourced" is have the rocker pedistalls milled .200" down ... for the stud to be correct .. usualy runs about $100.00 ... or just PM me and I will have a set shipped to ya ... I have a source to get them from... just need payment
