Head gasket failure on the 2.5-liter Subaru is a fixable problem when the job is done with the right gaskets, the right surface prep, and the right torque. We have done hundreds, and we warranty the work.
Symptoms to watch for
Catching a failing head gasket early often saves the engine.
- Coolant disappearing without an external leak
- Sweet smell from the engine bay
- White smoke or steam from the tailpipe
- Bubbles in the coolant reservoir
- Oil with a milky tint on the dipstick
- Overheating under load
How we repair it
Heads off, decked flat at a machine shop we trust, new multi-layer steel gaskets, new head bolts, new timing components, fresh thermostat and coolant. We do the job the way it should have been done from the factory.
