How much does it cost to replace an intake gasket?

Answer 1

Replacing the gasket is actually quite simple and shouldn't cost much. The problem is figuring out how much OTHER stuff has to be removed to get to it. Most shops have a book that lists the amount of time required for each task based on an experienced mechanic performing the job in a timed environment. Even though it's simple to replace the gasket, shops will definitely charge more if they have to remove a lot of peripheral stuff to get to it. answer that depends on what engine you are working on i would rather replace a v8 inlet than a 4 or a six v8 is on top and not much to remove, 4 and six are on sides along with exhaust mannifold and usually lots of other junk
