eppoh Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Bought a 2000 Legacy OB wagon with the 2.5 SOHC. Is there some way to tell from looking at the head gasket tabs if the gaskets are original or newer ones> The car has 154K on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 yes. sometimes just a quick cursory glance makes it rather obvious. is the gasket new and shiny or old and rusty? does the head look like it was cleaned? the newer gaskets have a little stamp/indentation on the corner tabs.
