Unhappy Head Gasket Change

Taking the car to API engines tommorow for a compression check, as
i'm loosing coolant and it's blowing back via the fill up tube.

I feel the Head Gasket or Gaskets are on the way out

Have any of you guy's/gals had them changed recently, as
i would like to have some sort of an idea as to what it may end up costing me.

Thanks in advance

Rob

If it's the gasket mate get it done now rather than later, as it won't get any better, and will only cost more in the long run (Scoring on the piston bore).

I'm going with API bud as these guy's are some of the best in the business, but
thankyou for the info
