Welcome me to the Gen2 H6 head gasket club
ivans imports replied to CNY_Dave's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXfunny it says right on the bottle will not hurt rubber but no list of what it contains. Benifit of the doubt probly when it gets mixed with the combustion gases from blown headgasket. The biger problem is that people are under the imprestion they can install a coolant conditioner and not fix the gasket and leave it to long and ruin the engine were as if they did the gaskets as soon as they saw problem the engine could be saved way cheaper and more efictively.

Welcome me to the Gen2 H6 head gasket club
ivans imports replied to CNY_Dave's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWell after 500 headgasket jobs and having to clean that crap out of every one i have seen some damage. The main problem is evry dealer whats to put it in and you get mutiple dealers puting it into the same cars. Have seen it were theres been 3-5 bottles of that in one car all put inby different dealers. Anyway i have piles of bad hoses and rads all pluged or softend by subarus stop leak. Or bars leak in a subaru bottle as far as subaru standing behind thiss stuff. I spend my days fixing subarus mistakes witch are many and i do not think the same way as many techs. I think of the cars as my personal car that customer uses. And i a'm so bussy because the people do not trust the subaru dealers and there methods.

repaird awd center diff
works very well i took care to not disturb the factory fliud had not come out yet the diff had just poped apart. Not far enuff to loose the viscus fliud may have lost a tiny bitt. But its my belif that a bitt less fliud will make it last longer as they have a problem with overheating and expanding till it pops apart. anyway the awd works perfectly and i torture tested it no slips and awd is right there

Welcome me to the Gen2 H6 head gasket club
ivans imports replied to CNY_Dave's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXpluging the cores is just a small bitt of the problem THAT STUFF ATACKS RUBBER components and water pump seals makes hoses soft and makes coolant oily absolut garbage never use it ever. Stop leak of any kind adds hours of cleaning to my headjobs and i have never seen it help any subaru engine ever but i have seen many many bad hoses because of thiss stuff. It will not fix your gasket problems because the gasket base meatal is stainless and when the coatings gone its shiny polished stainless nothing will stick to that so why wreck a good coling syestem when it just needs headgaskets. The headgaskets the problem dont dodge it fix it. Also the subaru coolant condishiner is just there to get the subarus off waranty not to fix the problem just prolong it till waranty is gone NICE JOB SUBARU in not recogniseing there own problem and hiding the fact that they used crap gaskets right since the day they changed the 25ds from grafite to meatal gaskets meatal gasket = problems

Frankenmotor issues
The hla are very small pasages on them and takes a tiny peice of anything to plug them but they are removeabble and can be cleaned and reused. But in your case i whould be planeing the rocker holdown posts to get the hlas closer to compensate for cam grind. The amont thats been ground is the amount that the rocker train should be planed to make geomitry right. or roller cams and valve train thats addjustabble carfull cams are matched to valve train so no mixmatching

repaird awd center diff
was able to rebiuld a expanded awd five speed center diff was able to press it apart and reinstall the clutchs and plates and wire seperators. I thought it was a non rebiuldabble part but it seems to be fixabble. The trans had lost the awd output berring that ruind the front awd berring and that alowded the gear to grab the snap ring and tear it out then awd expanded and came apart. was a mess inside but was repairablle and go's back in today see how it works. The cool thing is that you could modify the awd to make it stiffer or more or less responsive by adding or removeing plates or viscus fliud
