EVOthis Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 unfortunatly i have reason to believe that my head gaskets are on there way out for the second time.......i have a 1996 legacy 2.2 L. 185,000 miles. Does anyone know where i can get a set of inexpensive cylinder heads....already built (with cams,valves,retainers,etc...). Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Hi. Not sure. You could try http://www.ccerengines.com not sure if they would sell just the heads or not but if so they would be good heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravityman Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 If you are having a problem with the heads and think they might be warped, go to a machinist and have them take a look at them. All they may need to do is deck the block and heads to give you a true surface. not very expensive, cheaper then new or good used heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Right on, proper cleaning and surface finish are very important for the head gaskets. Is the second set OEM HG's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are from what im told.....i just bought the car like 10K miles ago.....but ive already done the clutch and flywheel, and the timing belt......but it will be a great learning experience........do you know wheather it is easier to do the head gaskets with the engine in the car or out?....the left front one looks pretty difficult unless you remove the engine.....

Gravityman Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Well If you have the tools it will probably be easier. Every subaru head I have removed I have pulled the engine. Refer to the chiltons or FSM and see what it recommends. GL Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
