DB It depends on the engine and work required. Cylinder-head repairs involve substantial dismantling and can also require specialist inspection or machining.
What affects the time
- Your specific vehicle and engine layout
- Whether the cylinder head needs skimming
- Whether cracking or warping is found
- Whether parts need to be ordered
Why it's a substantial job
Replacing a head gasket is significantly more involved than replacing an external gasket, since the cylinder head has to be removed to access the failed gasket.
