Commodore VZ 2005 head gasket leaks - gyrogearloose - 10-11-2022
Overheating, constant misfire, exhaust gases in the coolant.
My mechanic is talking $3K upwards for new gaskets on both banks, is this in the right ballpark?

Probably close to that...or more. It'll need the cam chains done too...that's 3 chains, tensioners etc. A lot of labour required to work on those engines, compared to the 3.8 which was simple and bullet proof.

Does anyone here have a Holden HBA Commodore engine for sale?

Located in New Plymouth area. Owned by us since 2004 and now replaced by an EV. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/holden/commodore/listing/3860287591?bof=T3ZUZeSY
