my e34 has head gasket problem with bad compression in cylinder 1 and 2. would it be worth it to replace the gasket or just replace the engine?? How much would it cost to do a head gasket job, what would i have to do???
or would it be better to rebuild the engine? how much would it cost for an engine with labor???

You should discuss this with your mechanic. The two of you can look at the relative costs involved.

However, a car that old is not worth the repair cost, unless you DIY. It may be that the head is warped.
