A few things you have to look at- How old is the car? Except for the bad head gasket, does the car operate OK? How many miles are on the car?? These are things you have to decide what you will do.

Is it worth it to fix blown head gaskets?
That depends on the age of the car..the number of miles and how much the car is worth versus how much it costs to have the work done...do if you have a twelve year old car with 125000 miles and it's only worth 1500 dollars....and a head gasket job costs $400...then is that car worth about 2000 dollars to you??? And if the head gaskets are blown, chances are, that there are several other issues with that car..blown head gaskets are usually due to poor maintenance or abuse. Is the risk worth the expense if the transmission is probably going to go out soon...or if the car was driven for a while with the blown gasket...then your probably also going to have the engine seize up soon because the engine oil was contaminated with engine coolant and the bearings are now in really bad condition...always be aware that something as severe as a blown head gasket can lead to other serious repairs.

Will gasket sealant work for a blown head gasket on a 98 sable?
It's not even worth trying. The pressure in the cylinders during compression will blow away any gasket sealant. The ONLY way is to remove the head, have it resurfaced then put it back together. NO IT WON'T only thing that will help is a new gasket set ( I KNOW DAMET )
Cost of a blown gasket?
I'm assuming it is a head gasket? The part only costs about $30 but there is a good amount of labor involved (7 to 9 hours). If you are taking it into a shop it can cost you anywhere from $700 to $1200. You should decide if the car is worth it or not.
