oczuk32 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 So my 84 wagon turbo is foaming up the radiator and running hotter. I'm 80 percent that its head gaskets compression leaking into the cooling system. What is the best head gasket that has been used with good results? I've seen MLs (MULTI LAYER STEEL) head gaskets for newer subaru's but not for the old gens. Or should I just go with the Felpro permatorque head gasket?

Steptoe's photos Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 can you still buy genuine? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydube Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Felpro is what everybody is using these days, because you don't have to keep retorquing the head bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand i tried to explain this no need to retorque to my long serving machine shop owner and got his opinion, which was to retorque anyway.

carfreak85 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I would do the factory procedure regardless of what gasket is used. It's not as if Fel-Pro knows something about the EA81 that FHI engineers didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
