anyone remember my little headgasket problem?

[Alex C]

I had it fixed and was experiencing some weird noise?

 

Well guess what?

 

I had an overheating last(friday) night, then again on the way to work. When I took off for lunch saturday I went to fill up the water, and noticed the passenger side of everything was coated in something wet with light brown globs in it. Then I noticed the passenger side breather tube is off, well thats kind of weird. Then I saw all the wet and light brown globs all over the ground.

 

At this point I pulled out the dipstick (appropriatley named isnt it) and noticed it is covered in the beginnings of milkshake. I think I nearly cried at this point.

 

Anyway, it looks liek somethign blew bad enough to pop the breather tube off and puke everything out of the breather hole.

 

I am sort of guessing freeze plugs. BTW, did you know it is supposedly 49/64" and napa doesnt carry them at all?

 

anyway, luckily it looks like mike is willing to sell me one of his spare cars, thanks mike.

I had an '83 hatchback with the same blown freezeplugs in the passenger side head as well. The only place I could get them was from a Subaru mechanic in The Dalles, OR when I still lived there... well Mike (Flowmastered87GL actually got them for me). Might wanna see about getting them from someone and having them shipped to you cause they're a real pain in the arse to try and get from a parts store... and the dealer doesn't carry them PLUS, they're a hell of a lot more expensive

well damn, I thought the dealer would have them. I know napa didnt show any freeze plugs for an 82 cylinder head, but did show them for the 83? kinda weird.

 

Is it right for the 49/64" size?

 

Well, does anyone here on the board have them?
