ponjohn Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hi All- I am sold on Subauru's. I own and I am selling my 96 OB. My wife drives an 05, this thing flies compared to my 96. I am going to upgrade and want to try a 6 cylinder version. Any head gaskets issues? At what mileage should the timing belt (or chain?) be done? Any other known issues with the 6 banger? Appreciate the info John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 No known issues with the H6 motor. No headgasket issue. I would think change the chain when it seems noisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Be positively religious about oil changes. The chain tensioners are lubricated by the engine oil. Seems that the tensioners will last a long time and service the chain well if oil changes are regular and you don't let the engine run low on oil. If not, major engine damage!
