    Part one of the journey was completed just over a week ago. My brother and I took the car to it's "drop point" where it will be picked up by the new owner soon enough.   I hadn't seen the car in jus

:( Possible head gasket failure on the Ski Wagon  :(

 

Maybe an intake manifold issue? Either way, its slurping coolant and blowing a cloud of white exhaust. I have so many other projects on my plate that this will have to go back to storage until spring. I'll figure it out then. Whatever it is, I'm pretty frustrated.

Inlet manifold gaskets?

 

That'd be what I'd check first.  If nothing is obvious there then start thinking HG.

Its probably the Intake gaskets. I used Fel-pro when I did them. And I used Fel-pro on the Hardtop. Guess what, they failed on me. I'd say grab some genuine ones and slap them in there. I doubt its an HG.

Is this contained in the thread yet?

 

 

I'll have to swing down there and see the car sometime now that I'm back in the area.

Yep that is buried in here somewhere.

 

We'll definitely have to meet up. Maybe we can coordinate something this summer. I still find it funny that I've had countless online interactions with you and even bought a car from you, but we have yet to meet in person.

We can remedy that once the weather gets nice. I know there are some trails in the area to explore. Seems to be a good number of Subaru enthusiasts in the area. The Western PA Subaru facebook group is pretty active.
