northguy Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I'm glad you're excited. (Please learn to use punctuation; it makes more sense that way.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAWA Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 can't your techs diagnose this kind of stuff? Also is that really one sentance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbobdole Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 No, it's not. Sentances have periods at the end. Just a question though, how did it get in such poor condition after so few miles? I know that my Xt-6 had head gasket problems at 140k but its like 15 years old and I know people beat the hell out of it. (not me, well not all the time) Anyone know if Subarus grand reliablity went down as a result of an open block? Thanky all yalls, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajavwnsoobnut Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 King there is the issue with the first gen EJ-25's that the headgaskets fail prematurely and that is prolly the longest a set has lasted and I posted before that history is repeating itself cause the old EA-63's had that issue also being that it was a open deck motor..........

Commuter Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 97 OB. Head gaskets went at 160k miles. I've heard some higher. 180 or 190 I think. Still... there are those that haven't gone out yet, and probably never will. In my case, it never overheated either. I discovered the sludge and bubbles in the coolant expansion bottle.

Had you used the correct punctuation in the first place I wouldn't have said anything, and you point would've been made. Also that isn't a paragraph. You need to take a look at a few sites: http://www.paragraphpunch.com/ http://www2.actden.com/writ_den/tips/paragrap/ http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/general/gl_pgrph2.html http://www.paragraphorganizer.com/ http://www.english-zone.com/writing/paragraphs.html or just look at this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=paragraph&btnG=Google+Search Or maybe you should go back to school and take a lot of grammar and writing classes.
