I take it you mean the head gasket. Head gaskets are pretty cheap, but the labor is high. If it is a V 6 or V8 you may have to do only one side. A lot would depend on what engine you have. I don't know if it is a car, boat or what, so it is hard to say what all is involved. You do have to remove the head from the engine to install a head gasket.

A cracked block means that the engine itself is cracked. A blown head-gasket means that the gasket between the engine and the head has blown. Either can be caused by overheating the engine. When an engine overheats the head can warp causing the head-gasket to give out. In some engines the heat cracks the block. If the block is cracked, it's over. If the head-gasket is blown you can always machine the head surface and put it all back together.

Why are head gaskets blown?
AnswerNormally you blow a head gasket, when the engine overheats. They can also blow from incorrect installation or poor design.Head gaskets expand and contract according to engine temperature, these cycles may, after a long period of time, cause the gasket to fail. If you're replacing the gasket, check the engine block, and head for warping. Follow proper cleaning and torque specifications during assembly.
