YEEEEHAAA! BURPING WORKS! Thanks to all of you who helped with my the overheating problem! The OEM t'stat and BURPING did the trick.... I guess I'll be getting another 190,000 miles on this baby. Amazing results. Have to admit..even though it's a simple solution after all's said and done, the head gasket issue was spookin' me. My neighbor has had her 98' subie in the shop for 2 weeks getting a new HG and other "Oh, looks like you need this too!" stuff. Thanks again for your experience and know-how!

Dazed and confused on this one! 93 Legacy was not prducing heat and I noticed it was running almost in the hot zone! I replaced the thermostat (Lappens Auto parts--cheapo) and then noticed a leak in the radiator header--replaced that too. Still runs hot--so I took out the thermostat and ran it for 1/2 hr or so---ran nice in the midzone...Didn't test the t'stats but wonderin what the next step should be before going out for head gasket /cracked block? repair... I'd love to trust repair joints but don't have a great feeling on this one....SHould I buy the C02 tst kit? No white smoke, no burining antifreeze smell, not sure about oil in the antifreeze (most blew out the radiator crack), haven't drained oil to see if water is present...Any help would be great relief!
