Im interested in a 1993 Honda Civic for $2000.00. Good shape except for a blown head gasket, is it worth fixing, or should i just keep looking?How much would it cost to fix a blown head gasket on a Honda Civic?A blown head gasket is going to cost you that much to get fixed by a repair shop, give or take a few hundred $$$. I wouldn't pay anymore than $500.00 for it. If you do it yourself... $500-800 in parts and machine work. You will need too have the heads resurface and tested for cracks at a machine shop/possibly replaced if they are cracked. That might be a little on the low end though, because we get discounted parts. About a week long project for a shop. Maybe longer for you.

It usually takes us about 4 hours to fix a car. Id recommend it to anyone :)

It wont work it the head is cracked or the block is cracked however - you would need to get the head resurfaced in that case. the bottles run about $80 for two.
