bgambino Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 96 legacy sedan 2.2 164k my nieces car,..I bought it for my son who is turning 16 in august check out this section of the head gasket...corrosion..had more of a rust color before I power washed the engine Anyone have an idea if this is a precursor to the gasket failing? should I scrape it loose...spray a little wd-40 so maybe it does not keep corroding?

nipper Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Leave well enough alone. If it is working fine, why look for trouble. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Much ado about nothing. You're really looking for problems. Drive and enjoy, don't sweat this. That's my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 your time would be better spent replacing 15 year old hoses and clamps, cleaning/replacing the radiator, etc... to make sure it doesn't overheat and blow the gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I guess that is why the oil sensors leak? So they prevent the headgaskets from getting rusty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
