(multi cylinder misfire) Need to replace the HEAD GASKETSET. The acto has 67,8MM miles. Question: can the repair/replacement of whatever be achieved with/without a total breakdown of the motor?

Accepted Answer

Hi there! They will have to remove the head from the car. This is pretty much a teardown on the engine. It is the only way to replace the head gasket.,
A rough estimate would be $700-$900 dollars.
I would suggest contacting nissan at 1-800-nissan1 and seeing if they would be willing to do a goodwill warranty repair on it for you. They might even pitch in and help pay. You should call. Hope this helps!
