Durania Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I will be the first to welcome our head gasket overlords. They been keeping the Subaru service department in business since 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rverdoold Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Those look like the HG i have on my 1.6. There are parts on the block some pieces of HG stick out (corner). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 looks very much like the ones that came in my fel-pro kit. The ones i got had milti layers and a fuji stamping (2 on one side, the metal gasket, and another layer on the other side) this was a 97 2.7 dohc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 i'm confused. Is this ANOTHER HG design, or a updated one for 2005 and newer, or did he just notice someone invented the lightbulb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec03 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 It seems clear that Subaru did not solved the head gasket problem subsequent to 2002. If you read the recent replies to Juston Stobb's blog noted below, you will see plenty of 03's, 04's etc complaining about HG leaks. The more the pity since I own a late production '02 and was hoping I wouldn't have to face that problem. http://allwheeldriveauto.com/subaru-head-gasket-problems-explained/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 if the most recent design is backward compatible, then the revised design of the gasket is current for all late model engines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruplatt Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Is there a MLS head gasket available anywhere for the base 06 Naturally aspirated engines? All I can see are turbo gaskets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsir08 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 What is that guy talking about? even the orginal phase 1 Ej25's had MLS headgaskets... only the older 2.2's were composite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruplatt Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I thought that the current "fix" model was single layer, nes pa?. For 06 impreza 2.5i N/A Specifically ? http://www.subarupartsforyou.com/cp_partdetail.php?partid=17426 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_Dave Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 So I guess when the dealer replaces the gaskets on our 2.5L 2005 forester (oil leak, both sides) those are the gaskets they'll use. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikec03 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 .A little more new HG info @.. http://allwheeldriveauto.com/subaru-head-gasket-change/ That's huge. It implies that the head gasket "fix" from 2002-2009 in NA engines wasn't effective! Maybe, all of us with these cars better start budgeting for a head gasket replacement.

Maybe, all of us with these cars better start budgeting for a head gasket replacement. ..if the above implication is correct, I can't say..but it certainly has been "allwheels...." postion for a long time now that the so-called "fix" was in name only..thus the reason to carry their own house brand gaskets..certainly a better way from a business perspective on being able to guarantee gasket replacements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Does anyone on the board have any experience with All Wheel Drive Auto? My 105,000 timing belt change is coming up. I might consider buying all the parts for the belt change from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
