2.5 headgasket problem pictures???? and engine specs?

Featured Replies

Searching for anyone with pictures of the headgasket problems in the new(er) 2.5 engines.

 

And... Does anyone have a list of what engines went into what cars? I've read that the 2000s had a dohc 2.5 and they have the internal HG issue, but I know my 89 has a 4 cam engine and it has an external HG issue? what are the exact part #s for the different years engines (i.e. 25ej, etc)

 

I'm not a knuckle head, I've ripped apart several engines and did simple rebuilds on a few ford 302s... I just want to know more about the different 2.5 engines... my sponge is drying up. ;)

Great write up, thanks! I'm bookmarking that page for the day my '98 starts sucking anti-freeze.

 

***so ours is the 25EJ... what's the newer 2.5 called (in the 00 and 01 outbacks). It's a 2 cam instead of our 4 cam engine right?***

Thanks for maintaining the fine site on headgasket replacement theotherskip. It was a major help in doing two headgasket jobs, just at my house. I have recommended it to other people as well, so that's a lot of good work done.

thanks...

 

keep signing the guestbook & and including the list when you complain to subaru...there's strength numbers...
