    If a shop did it, then yes.

    If you can do it yourself, likely 100-150 bucks for everything. Gaskets, oil, coolant and any other small item.

    a little had a mechanic do it for me for around $900.00 also had another mechanic give me a quote of $1300.00 ,so check around. My daughter is friends with the mechanics daughter . I had upper and lower gaskets replaced plus my brake booster hose replaced also because when you hit the brakes hard the peddle would not go down for about 2 seconds because the hose would collapse being soft and that works great now. Cheaper to do yourself but it was money well spent for me as the car only has 73,000 miles on it Hope this helps
