Default I needs a good, reliable, hardass mechanic...

i have a blown head gasket. i will be buying my own parts.

i need one of those mechanics that is meticulous, and one that you would basically trust to date your own daughter if you have one.
like my dick, im very picky about who touches my car...and i will meet up with this mechanic before i even just drop my car off to him.

post info here, or PM me. im in carrollwood area, and will transport to west pasco (new port richey area) or to someone in the carrollwood general area. i will not take my car to pinellas...basically, if i cant have someone or myself go there to take an evaluation of the progress...i wont take it to that person.

It might be easier first to find someone in your area, save some money in towing charges. If you dont have any luck...

blown headgasket on an LT1? Do you have any idea how much they'll charge you? Do it yourself it really isnt hard, just time consuming..and thats why its so expensive.

Have someone from cz28.com help

head gasket change on a pushrod motor is cake, I had to do it on mine already, just time consuming like mentioned

btw shop WILL rape you on pricing, do it yourself or pay a friend

expect in the area of 900-1000 for the labor
