MDW25gt Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I am interested in hearing from people that have replaced head gaskets. How is the engine doing? I replaced the head gaskets on my 99 legacy GT with 2.5 DOHC it had 127000. It now has 150000 and no problems. I would love to hear everyone say that after the change to latest gasket design there is know issue. Could this be? I love the car too much to get rid of it and also spent too much money to this point. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbhrps Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 MDW25gt, I put 130 000 km on my 97 OBW with no head gasket problems when I traded it. The 02 OBW I replaced it with went 23 000 km and started a minor head gasket coolant leak on both sides. Replaced under warranty at the Service Manager's suggestion, requiring no screaming by me. A year later I received the recall notice for the coolant additive to prevent the head gasket problem and had it installed. To date I have 111 000 km on my ride and am happy to report no head gasket problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commuter Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 97 OB. HG's failed at 260k km. Replaced. Con-rod failure one day later. Short block replaced. That was April 2002. Everything is still running good right now (knock wood) at 470k km (210k km later). Commuter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
