I have to get an engine together for an 2004 Outback EGR 2.5L. The old engine has a hole in the case. I have a good short block from a 2002 Outback that doesn't have EGR heads so I want to remove the EGR heads and install them on my good short block. I figured it would be best to mill those heads and have any other necessary work done to them before installing on this short block. My question is which company provides the most dependable headgaskets? Cometic? Six Star? Suggestions? Any thoughts and suggestions from people who have learned what's the best route via personal experience? -

My wife's car-she tells me that the car is running hot. I check it out and the primary fan is dead. Relays and fuses are all good. I replace it and everything is good for a bit. Then it starts getting hot again. I replace the thermostat this time. I didn't realize that there would be issues with using an AutoZone thermo. Thermostat worked good but the car is starting to get hot again. I will replace the thermostat with one from Subaru this afternoon. The reason I went with AutoZone is the fact that there weren't any dealerships close that I could have gone to to purchase an OE exact. The last time she told me that it was hot, I checked the radiator and it was low on coolant. I am assuming that it is low due to the car getting hot. I filled it and checked the dipstick to look at the oil and it looks good. Am I heading in the right direction with an OE exact thermostat? Any other ideas? Fans work great now, no coolant in the driveway.
