You did not mention any problems; but here is a thread about replacing head gaskets.
The thread started in 2005 and continues into 2011. I think it will provide a "ballpark"
range. I used the search function and entered "BHG repair costs."

Thank you, those are some good estimates. The problem is an internal oil leak in the engine, so it burns out alot and since there is no oil spots under the car when parked I guess that's how my mechanic knew it was internally in the engine.

Does the car smoke real bad? if so its valve seals but as far as prices go for a rebuild it will very from state to state. if its to costly in your area I'd try to locate a jdm replacement engine from a true jdm engine dealer.

Yea. I did mines myself for around 900. Between the machine shop and Felpro gasket kit. Few tools I had to buy.

My 67,000 certified JDM engine cost me $3,300 to install into my car. Job was done in less than a week.

I could of done it or had it done for around $1,000 or less. Trust me we've done it and had it done for that.
