Well, im just curious if anything should be done to my car when it goes in to have its head gasket replaced? My car is approaching 115,000 miles on it, and ive noticed degraded performace lately (mostly due to the blown head gasket im sure). Im just curious if there is anything else i should have done when they are doing all this work anyway that will restore any lost power, or improve the life of my engine. What would a valve job do? shoud I have them rebuild the head? If you guys know of any wise ideas let me know, and if you know any $ figures that would be great too! (im already going to have to pay 1100 at the dealer for the headgasket, and ill have them do any additional work as well).

a full tune up you open up the head check everthing make sure it's all in good working condition and change and damaged or extremly worn parts... change all belts and hoses... and fluids... flush the engine .. damn i know i'm forgetting some stuff.. some one please help me out here.. -------------------- |
