My first Subaru was an '84 wagon with blown headgaskets. The previous owner was told the engine was no good. I assumed their mechanic knew what he was talking about and replaced the motor. It blew smoke for 2 days of intermittent running until it started to clear up.

 

Might be an intake gasket or the other side is also bad. I try to do both headgaskets when one goes bad.
