It can take anywhere from 4-10 hrs. now if your head gasket is warped you will have to take it to have it milled that takes from 1 day to several days. if not you can just buy a completely new one that fits perfectly for about $150.
Here in Arizona it is about $80 per hour and a head gasket will take about 3-6 hours plus any other time and expense for subsequent problems discovered during the repair. Many shops will take longer overall though so expect it to be higher.E: about how much does a new head gasket cost? my 94 honda my need a new head gasket in the future and i was wondering how much it will cost for labor and all. a ballpark range will be fine thanks.
