Have it hooked home and do it yourself. Head gaskets aren't THAT huge of a deal. Should take you about 2 fulls days if you're inexperienced. I don't know about you, but I don't make anywhere near $800/day.

No matter what you decide, good luck man. That whole situation sucks.

 

this is what happens when you dont learn how to fix your car on your own

 

The $1600 is all the labor and parts for the rearend too.
I just know when Im in over my head with repairs and headgaskets and rearends are things I know enough not to mess with.
I also dont have time to do major repairs lately due to working full time and working a side job after my regular job and on my days off.

I do almostall regular repairs and maintenance and most mods to my car myself.

Atleast after these repairs the car will be fixed right and might even run better.
Im wondering how much the bad intakegasketsand headgasket(s), misadjusted valves and incorrectly shimmed rearend actually hurt the car's performance.

 

Update- the headgaskets werent bad.
The shop checked the cooling system with some kind of pressure filler (forgot what he called it) and found it was just an air bubble or something in the system.

That saves me almost $600.
