Does anyone know approx how much it would cost to replace a headgasket, radiator, water pump, and switching fans. Let's make pretend that labor cost was $75 per hour. What will this total?

I would venture to guess somewhere in the 2k range.

Hi Sam,
I was afraid of that. You may want to a search on "Milk Shake" or rebuild. I suspect it will be in the 2k range.

head gasket set ~$150
Studs ~$150
waterpump $114-$222
radiator $309
fan switch ? ~$30
misc parts and fluids ~$75-$100

So roughly $1k in parts.

Yeah, just buy the parts, not that hard to do yourself. That's what a lot of people will say, and they're right. Just finished my first Head Gasket job on the Turbo !

Do it yourself. Then you can pay yourself that $75/hour!

And id say that while youre in the doing the pump and rad, do the belts and rollers too. Maybe even a front end seal job. Big huge snowball yes, but worth it to get all those fiddlyass jobs out of the way. Doing them all at once is far less of a headache than one by one.

Replaced all what you said on my NA and took the specialist 15 hours to complete (charged me $800 for labour alone).
