davebugs Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Poke around here. Some folks had links to download the FSM. I used to but they may have gotten away in a recent laptop incident. That is definately better and potentially free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOthis Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I have noticed some discrepencies in my haynes manual, the most accurate source of information as mentioned is the FSM... you could do a quick google search of " Subaru Forester FSM"...any specific information your looking for?... you mentioned your having them replaced, are you do the work?

Roger Stokes Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Ok thanks, I have a mechnic thats gonna do it for me. But he`s never done a subaru befor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Firsts and foremost, have the mechanice MAKE 100% darn certain he buys the headgaskets from Subaru. No parts store gaskets....He has to use genuine oem new style headgaskets that come from the Subaru dealer. That is a must. mkay. this is one important deal on the particular engine you have, any ej25 this applies to. He cannot just get by with a felpro, or no name brand......this is very very important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forester2002s Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 This DIY H-G write-up (for RS25 engine) may help: http://www.rs25.com/forums/f105/t78972-diy-head-gasket-replacement.html But I don't know if it is exactly applicable to your vehicle.

svxpert Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Ok thanks, I have a mechnic thats gonna do it for me.
