Turbone Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The mechanic has a cracked block :-\ Sound to me it needs a new radiator. Heck of alot cheaper than a new block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Cracked blocks on EJ22's are unheard of (really unheard of on ANY Subaru - they just don't do that).. Probably radiator - maybe head gaskets but not likely at that mileage. EJ22's are known to go 300k before major mechanical failures. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
