******** and Bulletproofing

[Big Red03]

I was wondering how big of a hole im getting myself into for head studs and gaskets and egr ******? How much did it run you guys?

 

[sootie]

depends what you get done. 3500-7000 is reasonable. i would have the block checked, heads decked and magnafluxed, OEM gaskets etc...

Where you located ?

I had my head studs done, everything checked out, new thermostat, upper radiator hose, coolant filter installed, and a few other nickle and dime things done for just under $3000 about a year ago. I had recently done the EGR "fix" and a new Ford oil cooler myself though, so I saved a few dollars there.

I did mine myself and spent $800 and 2 1/2 days

by the oem gaskets is that just the ford motorcraft gaskets that's what im getting put in and arp head studs and new oil cooler. Should I get the coolant filter to?

Yes 100% on a coolant filter.

you didnt do half of what you should of then if you only spent 800

I'm over $1000 without tax on parts for studs, oil cooler, HG, heads up set, and stc fitting. And I get stuff at cost and dealer price from ford so...

agreed.

if you take it to a reputable shop, of course it depends on your location, but you can expect to pay anywhere from 3800-7000 depending on what you may find when the truck is taken apart.

Exactly. Thought I was going for a simple stud, cooler, and diet job and ended up replacing lifters.

Went in for a turbo swap and ended up replacing ficm before it left the parking lot.

Never know what you're gonna get lol

Your right cause some things I didn't have to do like oil cooler coolant filter and I know quite a few people to get things for cheap also I left machining cost out cause my fiancé parents own a machine shop so yea I guess over 1,000 is def right
