Should a head gasket need to be replaced more than once in a year?

Absolutely not. There is a problem somewhere such as faulty installation or possibly the surface of the head is warped and needs to be machined. A factory installed gasket is good for at least 150k.

if it is just a head gasket, it could be $400 or more depending on if it is the "front" head or the "rear" one. The rear head usually requires you to remove the engine. Most likely the head is also warped, etc (especially if overheated) and will need to be machined on a lathe or head replaced --- now the cost is upwards of $1000 or more

How much will it cost to replace head gasket and motor on a Mazda 626 2002?
If you're going to replace the motor then why would you be replacing the head gasket? Normally a blown head gasket will not require the engine to be replaced. If the head is cracked or warped it may need replacing but not necessarily the entire engine. Unless you continue driving the car after it got hot and blew the gasket more than likely the only thing that will need replacing is the gaskets itself. The only way to know for sure is to open it up. If only the gasket is defective you will more likely spend around $1000. But it really depends on who performs the repair.
