Gasket Set

why is a new head gasket so expensive to replace when i can find prices online for around £30?

i have just been told my head gasket is blown on my 1.6 petrol 1991 golf driver but quote from people have been in the hundereds. i have various website from vw parts saying gasket sets can be bought for 30ish so whats the deal with the expensive quotes? is it just all labour costs? what would it involve a garage doing? is there any other way to get my car running without overheating and blowing steam everywhere. its not even worth 200 itself so i wont be paying that to fix it.

Replacing a head gasket is a tedious job. It entails great skill, extra care, and right knowledge. Doing it otherwise will cost you more than 100 times the gasket itself. The gasket is really not expensive but the labor to replace your old and put a new one is really a big deal. The mechanic will perform a lot of task before he can get to your old head gasket. He will have to remove a lot of stuffs in your engine like the valve cover, spark plugs, intake and exhaust manifold, drive belts, timing belt cover, timing belt, pull out the cylinder head, scrape the old head gasket, clean the surface, put a new one in, bolt the head cylinder back on at a correct sequence and torque properly, reset the valve timing and put back all that was removed previously and etc etc... A blown head gasket may be remedied with an additive you add to your oil to stop the leak between water and oil, but that is absolutely temporary...
Mechanics who do this kind of laborious job should deserved to be paid more than what they can do unlike lawyers who are paid just to get consulted and doing nothing... he he he enjoy your car.

Is it difficult to replace timing cover gasket set on a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500?

What are the steps...possible to be done at home, or best to take to a mechanic? Approx. how much would I expect to pay?
Seems kind of difficult to get at from straight on...any problems with that?

Remove timing cover > remove old gasket > put new gasket > replace cover > TORQUE BOLTS TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATION.

Easy.
