I'll sell it if it's the head gasket. It's got brand new tires and a full timing belt and water pump replacement. What's it worth? 1990 legacy loaded( air don't work). Sunroof 171,000 miles auto

I'll sell it if it's the head gasket. It's got brand new tires and a full timing belt and water pump replacement. What's it worth?

It ran fine for two or three days. Then it started again, today it overheated twice, then the third time it seemed to be running fine with only letting it cool off for about 10 minutes. It gets a miss or something when overdrive kicks in or you let it idle down while driving. It also happens at the same time the overheating starts. Could this be a bad coil or spark plug? If it was a head gasket would it get better all of the sudden like this?

It had sucked the puke tank dry overnight. I put it on a steep incline and burped it again. It seems to be working correctly now. Full heat and no leaks!!! Stay tuned....

I opened the bleeder vent and finally got it filled up to the top and put the bleeder vent screw back in. Still didn't get me any heat though. The PO has put a flush port in one of the heater hoses. I am gonna open it up tomorrow and see if that helps get any air out. Do I need the car on very much of an incline? It's being finicky I guess. Most likely, it's operator error!

Dang, that takes a bit. I still don't have it. Gonna try again tomorrow.

Cool, gonna go do it know. I appreciate the help!! Thank you.

Ok! Got the timing belt, all the pulleys and gear replaced ( full Gates timing belt kit) and the water pump and thermostat plus radiator hoses and the bypass hose. It took me a while but I got it. Fixed a leaking hose today. I hope it fixes my issues. BUT. I got no heat! I think I might have a bubble in it. What's the trick on that?

Copy that. Wanna recommend a full timing kit name brand or two, and who sells them. I am sorry, I'm new to the subaru game. I don't recall the receipt I found said anything about the tensioner as a separate piece. I bet they did the pulleys and not the tensioner. If I do it, I'm going to do the wp too.

Do you think I could see the timing belt tensioner if I remove the right side timing belt cover? And, will it be showing leaking like a shock absorber?

Is there a way that the car has a code, but not keeping the check engine light on? If so, how should I check the codes? On off 3 times didn't work.

Thank you. I could see that. It's starting to get below freezing here at night. Spring tension and old grease letting it not keep proper tension. Good thought.

Timing belt was replaced 50,000 miles ago.

If it jumped time, it wouldn't fix itself. Could torque converter be loading up funny? Do coils go in and out?
