[Roger Stokes]

Hey I have a chilton manual fpr Legacy/Forester 2000-06 and I`m having the headgaskets and timing belt and all the seals replaced on my 2001 forester. Is it acurrent and true?

Thanks, Roger

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.

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?

Ok thanks, I have a mechnic thats gonna do it for me. But he`s never done a subaru befor.

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

But I don't know if it is exactly applicable to your vehicle.
