Hello, I'm new to subi's. In fact, I don't even own one yet. I plan on getting one in the near future, and my budget will probably mean something higher miles and may already have issues. Since I do all my own work, I don't mind doing headgaskets and what-not. I'm looking to see if there's any online documentation or member write-ups on 2.5L headgasket swaps. Short of buying a repair manual, I'd like to see what I'd be getting into. I'm actually half tempted to buy a local '98 subi that needs a headgasket "but still runs." I haven't looked at it yet, so it may be a no go. But this sort of thing would be right up my alley to buy cheap and fix (I just haven't done a subi before). I'd like to try and figure out how long it will take to swap a head gasket, replace any other parts while I'm in there, etc... or if it's just easier to pull the motor. I've tried doing searches, but I'm dialup and it's very slooooooooooooooooow so I'm trying to speed up my "searching." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, mnwolftrack
