  1. Thanks guys!really appreciate the advice! I don't have an engine stand or a shop, going to be setting up a tarp shed over the car though. I realize how difficult leaving the engine in might be but aside from pulling it out and setting it on a table that's my only option. I will defiantly check my intake manifold gasket first! I didn't even think about that!!! It doesn't overheat but there is the very obvious white smoke, loss of power, and external coolant leakage. I figured (keep in mind no master mech) that because there was coolant leaking out and puddling up on top of the engine,right near the head gasket, that that meant for sure it was a head gasket. They do show similar symptoms, hopefully I just jumped the gun with the head gasket. sorry about that dude, new to the site, ill make sure I post in the right spot from now on though. Tomorrow moring I'm going to hit that intake manifold gasket. Hopefully I wont be tapping any bolts out! Thanks again guys!
  2. I picked up a 1993 Loyale wagon for 400$, expecting the best from it as i always have... well it just so happens i bought the only subaru that has ever given me problems! Mainly due to the fact that the previous owner had no idea what they were doing and messed alot of things up. looking for some advice and guidance for sure! Ive done head gasket jobs on plenty of my buddies chevys but never on a boxer. ive got a chiltons on the way and wanted to ask if theres anything i should know before ordering parts and diving in? any info would be greatly appreciated. My ultimate goal is to lift it 2' and turn it into an offroad rig.
