Re: really mixed up
I assume the rest of the vehicle is worth enough to warrant this level of engine work.
If your head gaskets are shot and the rest of the engine (internal to the block and heads) are in okay shape then the head gaskets can be replaced. It is not that big of a job but you may be looking at 5-6 hours labour. If the internals of the engine are not in good shape such as the valve guides, pistons, bearings etc...It may not be worth the bother. If they are talking about replacing the engine are they planiing on putting in a rebuilt block and heads (as good as new) or swapping the entire engine with a used one? The cost of replacing the block is a lot higher than just replacing the gaskets but you will essentually have a new engine. Of course there are a lot of other items that may be close to failing in the near future including things like the water pump, steering pump, alternator, fuel system, sensors, transmission....
What sort of mileage do you have on the 95?
