lmdew Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 96-99 DOHC Internal HG Leaks, blows out all the coolant - the worst I'd say 2000 and up 2.5 SOHC External coolant or oil leaks at the head to block seam, less of a problem then the DOHC engines but still will require HG at some point if leaks start. Use Coolant Conditioner from Subaru in these engines. Look for external leaks and ask if the HG have been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
