If you needed a gasket and they replaced it then yes you would be charged for the gasket.
Yes, no matter what part u change, if there's a gasket involved, u always replace the gasket. Make sure u clean both surfaces.
you should only change the gasket if you have to take the valve cover off....... you should only change the gasket if you have to take the valve cover off.......
Intake and exhaust manifold gaskets are also replaced along with the head gasket. Head is inspected and if cracked it is replaced. Head bolts should also be replaced with new ones.
all repairs should be quoted and documented up front, any additions must be authorized before the shop does the repairs... however, unless they charged you $544.99 for an oil change, I wouldn't sweat it..:)
you mean like k seal?, there only temp fix if that, the gasket should always be replaced if its failed
I have a 2007 ford escape, replaced a valve cover gasket in August 2012, noticed that i have a small oil leak around the gasket.
yes. it happens sooner or later
why after replaced the head gasket car wont turn over??jetta 2000 2.2l
There is no set interval. It only needs replaced when it has failed.
You should use a thermostat gasket along with the thermostat housing ring. The gasket should be replaced every time the thermostat housing is opened.
It should take about an hour to change the intake manifold gasket. This part can be replaced by taking off the intake manifold cover, cleaning the old gasket off and sealing a new gasket in the space and tightening the bolts. When other things are in the way, like the alternator, it will take longer.
if my heads are warped and gasket needs replacing what longterm damages and repairs should i expect
