chefgwailo Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I just had the headgasket replaced on my 2010 Outback. They also replaced the water pump, timing belt, and resurfaced the heads. It doesn't overheat anymore, but the passenger compartment smells like gas and it idles rough- which it wasn't doing before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike104 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 For the rough idle it may have to relearn the idle speed as the battery was most likely disconnected and removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Need to take it back to the shop that did the work and have them look it over. If it smells like gas that usually means there's a fuel leak somewhere and that's a fire hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Probably has the timing off a tooth or the AVLS is screwed up. The rocker assembly on those heads is quite complicated. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
