Engine problem
1997 Ford F150 V6 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 110000 miles

My mechanic has told me that my head gaskets are cracked. He suggested having both heads resurfaced to ensure better/longer life. How many hours should I expect him to charge me.

It should take about 8 to 9 hrs but have them check intake manifold before they start, These are famous for that.
