I recently purchased a 98 outback automatic subaru and the head gasket blew on me. The engines got 130k on it and I was wondering if it would be worth it to choose my local shops estimate of around 2,500 for the whole shebang of parts they would do, they listed like taking it to a machine shop to test the cylinder and replacing water pumps tensioners pulleys belts. If I chose to do that route should it be smart to go ahead and get t rebuild with a rebuild kit with Pistons and rings and all that jazz or would it be more worth my time to look into swapping it ? I want this car to run good and im going to be trusting it to get me highway miles 6-8 hours away every other month or so. I just put a brand new radiator in it and all new radiator fluids so my budget is down to about 5 grand. Or should I just scrap the thing and buy a different one PLZ help!! Im lost
