Overheating & Head Gasket (confirmed head gasket)

[Tradewind]

Do both sides

I have the complete gasket set $200 if you like to buy it

Then it's only labour and fluids

That is an absolute bargain. Is it original Subaru or aftermarket? Details please.

I did both mine at about 160,000 kms. Still going well now at 275,000 kms, touch wood!

GOOD FIND

This is the set number that I have and sold the other day, will be buying another one - yes you do have the correct set number - Victor Reinz Engine Cylinder Head Gasket Set HS54655

Buy with complete confidence

[jakey]

Anyone else want one / anything else from that seller ? Might as well combine shipping / if we can

[Tradewind]

Subaru should be whipped for this - even Ford/Holden can produce motors that don't need headgasket replacement after a few years use. The motor is a technological marvel, pity about some slight design or testing oversights

Sump oil turning milky / white used to be a telltale sign of HG blown.

[Dropz]

A blown headgasket can cause alot of different faults depending where it fails. It can leak between cylinders, it can get coolant in the cylinder, coolant in the oil, oil leaking outside the engine and coolant leaking outside the engine and more. And it can get any number of combinations of these or all of them. Subarus often leak oil from the left hand head at the bottom.

Sump oil turning milky / white used to be a telltale sign of HG blown.

It still is the telltale sign in most engines. Its just the H6 is weaker in an area with no or very little connection to oil areas.

[jakey]

Still to this day I have no clouding in my oil nor oil in my coolant. - fingers crossed.

Also just bit the bullet for this HG kit - I thought i'd be a smart ass and buy straight from their website @ $10 less, but turns out shipping was $10 more after I paid so that served me right haha
