About a hour job to a person that has mechanic skills. The gasket alone doesn't cost much either.89L build thread http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36422

You will also need to take the head to a machine shop and have it shaved so don't plan on it taking only an hour.OscarComment

Why would you purposely buy a festiva with specifically with a head gasket gone?

If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?Comment

I assumed he was already looking at one in particular that has a blown head gasket. Could be wrong thoughOriginally posted by Damkid View Post
But to the Op, I bought my first festy for $380 with a blown head gasket. I had never done any mechanical work and I slowly replaced it myself, learning along the way. Isn't a hard job and it's good experience!"Lane, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy."
