I have just done a HG job on my 05 Impreza Sport, bought a bunch of parts from them, fast shipping and everything I asked for, all done on line.

Wow, this thread is very interesting, lots of great info. So a little about my car, 2005 impreza outback sport, 144,000 miles in the middle of a HG replacement. Was told all Subie Maint. was done. Not. I think they cleaned the lower engine and put new nuts on the exaust manifold. Oil leak later from the back of the engine and my mechanic suggested HG replacement. I changed the rear diff and front dif with Amsoil GL-5, And BTW had changed engine oil withAmsoil 5w-30 prior to the "leak" Using Fel-pro gaskets "MLS" and a bunch of OEM o rings etc. Had the heads cut. New oil pump. Have 5w-30 and 5w-40 in my garage. Using Ultra gray for sealant. Need to ajust valves as exausts were losened prior to cutting. Cylinders look good but one has slight score marks at 12 O'clock. Am I missing anything? All info, cratiques are welcome. What no spell check!

Hi all,

Recently aquired a 2005 Impreza Outback Sport, "all Subaru service" being done, NOT!

Deep into head gasket replacement, having fun doing it. Waiting for some "O" rings, oil pump, etc. I take my time and clean and prep like a dealer won't.
