Cylinder head gasket

[Augustin]

Hello,


What it is the signs to change the Cylinder head gasket ?

How many hours for a mechanic to change the Cylinder head gasket ?

Thanks

Thomas

blowing white smoke, oil looks foamy or like chocolate milk, oil in antifreeze, antifreeze level dropping, truck running very rough. as for time, that would also depend on what motor it is.

The O/P's profile says V8

Having a mechanic replace a head gasket is $$$ no matter how you slice it. $1000 at least.

I have a quotation : 26 hours to make the job...

26 hours?!?

Yes 26 hours to make the job in the quotation.
What do you think ?

Seems mighty high to me. Doing both sides? Anything else getting replaced?
