Crying Engine
Went to my mechanic today to fix a flopping undercarriage cover that I cracked. When the car was on the hydraulic lift, we noticed something a tad more major. The mechanic said "your cylinder heads are crying tears".
Basically, I have a leak on both sides.
What is a fair price to get that repaired? I take it it'll be more than just putting in new head gaskets. I got a quote for all gaskets & seals plus labor at $3000.
How long should the job take? Mechanic claims 10 days including removal of engine, gasket replacement, reassembly, changing all fluids, letting them settle, refilling, testing.
What else is worth doing with the engine out? Mechanic said clutch.
What other questions should I be asking?
Your help is, as always, much appreciated.
