What is the cost of a head and or a head gasket if anyone has had to replace one before?

So I just went to pick the car up, surprise it's been in an accident with a roo. There is damage to the front end even though the bloke told me its never been on an accident. Lifted the bonnet and it...

Injected. Vapour is $2200.
The only thing second hand is the tank everything else is new.

Done mate. Thanks heaps appreciated.
Had a chat to a LPG installer and they will do it with a second hand tank for $2800. Should I steer clear of 2nd hand tanks and go for the brand spanker?

Thanks for the advice mate.
How do I go about lubing the valves? Something simple?

Thanks mate, I'm pretty chuffed!
Anyone know a good LPG Installer, I live in Bilpin, (the blue mountains). And any ideas on cost?

So what am I looking at for the LPG conversion $$?
Was told if I get it I should re do the head. Is this true? Are there any other mods that would be needed.
Bought it and pick I up Tuesday. $9300...

That's what I'm after mate, something that just doesn't give me headaches all the time.
Just asking the questions about fuel so I have an idea what I'm up for. How many kms do u get from a tank...

How many kms would you get out of a tank on petrol?
My 2.8 got about 800km for around $160-$170 to fill.

Thanks mate have done.
Any ideas if $4k is a good salvage price to buy the rig back and if stuff from my 2.8 will fit the 4.5?

Hi guys,
The mrs recently wrote our 2.8 99 turbo diesel off when she hit a dear.
Wondering if a 99 4.5L has any diseases I should know about?
Any comment either way would help, don't wanna buy a...

Thanks for the thoughts on the water from the exhaust, so my question is, why is it only overheating going up the mountain and not the rest of the 100 or so km's I've done before hand?
Mudski- I...

Sorry forgot, I drive a 99 gu 2.8 cheers

Hi guys, just wondering what this means. Obviously I'm having overheating issues and if you read my last thread about pressure caps you will know that I have just had the head replaced gasket done...

I have just noticed there is water coming from the exhaust pipe! Help?!

Hi,
Yeah we did a complete cooling system flush, so it's defiantly clean. I have replaced the hoses and radiator, thermostat and caps as well as a new head, head gasket, timing belt, water pump,...

Just to be clear of what you meant,I should have the pressure cap on the reserve reservoir and the non pressure cap on the radiator? (this is what I have done and it's not working).
Cheers

Hi,
So I have replaced my cap on the reserve resivour with a new cap (pressurised cap). I live in the blue mountains, only when driving up the hill to my house does it over heat.
The new cap has...

Hi,
Just after some advise if which cap needs to pressurised. I have a 99 gu rd28ti with the overflow running from the side of the radiator and not the neck.
My question is which cap should be...

Cool.
Thanks for the hints guys. Any chance of a link showing a diagram of the heater core and where the coil i need to remove are located.
Cheers.
Also if I try this and the heater doesn't work,...

Hi guys,
So it turns out my ovewrheating issues were in fact a blown gasket as well as a cracked head.
I have just purchased a new head along with replacing the radiator, water pump, thermostat...

Thanks mate!
Yeah my mrs is happy, it took her 3 days of searching and she finally found something.

I am very great full for all of the help and advice that has been given on this forum.
So a big thank you to everyone who has help with your advice.
Cheers, it's appreciated.

Sorry if what I wrote didn't read well.
When I said I didn't trust the mechanic, i was referring to my mechanic, where its currently located, thus me asking rob if his mechanic is able to do the...
