OEM Head gasket itself is around $50
JUST replacing the gasket is $300 to $400. (depending on the area you are in)
Most "head gasket jobs" never turn out to be just "head gasket jobs"
If you need additional work - ie. surfaces machined if warped - of course it will be extra.
Look into a Fel-Pro brand gasket. They are aftermarket SUPER upgrades with aluminum imbedded in the gasket at known failure points.

If the head needs reconditioning it cost around 550 to make it run again. Including gaskets. I will throw a oil change free of charge@@

SOURCE: head gasket blown
there are many was a head gasket can blow . sometimes they just leak to the outside sometimes they leak to the coolant and then it blows out your antifreeze. if you have a blown head gasket you will see it when you pull the head. and yes you should hace the head checked at a machine shop and install with a new head set never reuse a gasket .

It has been My Experience that Most Repairs on this Vehicle ARE PRICEY and it is Not Worth the Maintnance Cost For Instance To Replace the STARTER One Must Remove the Engine Mount This tacks On an Axtra 80 Dollars to Lobor To Replace The Engine Labor ALONE is Around 1,500.00 Cmopared to 6-8 Hundred on Most other Makes & Modles I Personaly Would NOT own One.

I would change both, as well as use new head bolts. Make sure your heads are not warped or cracked, especially the one that is leaking. There may not be any need to change the head if it is not cracked. These are prone to blowing a gasket especially after 150K miles or so. It will not cost a huge additional amount to change both head gaskets since the engine will have to be disassembled down to the heads anyway. Hope this helps you, Rick
