Hey guys,

Haven't been on here forever...but

My radiator popped and it turns out there was oil in there. So instead of just getting a new radiator installed for $120, it looks like I'm going to get my head gaskets replaced and a new timing belt to boot.

All this will cost be about $1k. Do you guys think it's worth it? My car has 195k miles...

1k for a shop to do a headgasket and rad. is assuming like you said new timing belt bits, wp, cam and crank seals. Problem is when they pull the head they might find the block or head need to be resurfaced(alot more money). Fair price if that doesnt have to be done. If you did it yourself itd probly only cost 300-400.
