Is a blown head Gasket hard to get too? I know the engine is in the back. I don't know much about cars but I know some people that do, and was wondering if they could change a blown head gasket pretty easily?

Hi there,

This is not a 5 min job and it is far more involved than just replacing the gasket, the cylinder head or heads will have to be crack tested checked for warp and re surfaced at a minimum, you will need special tools as well, if you have never done a job as complex as this before I would leave it for a mechanic, it may cost a bit more, but you will get it done right the first time.
