sisu Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I am a firm believer in used autos. I had a GREAT 97 2.2 liter Subaru from Anchorage only to have it totaled by a Russian on I-5. Enough of that, I am in the market again after a year of missing my Subaru. I want to buy a very new used one say 2000 up to 2005 or so. WHEN WAS THE HEAD GASKET ISSUE RESOLVED? Or is it still an issue? if it is still an issue what is the cost to have it redone at a shop?(Then I can deduct that from the selling price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 But I think they had it pretty well in hand about 2003. I am running the 2003 revision head gaskets in my phase 2 2.5. These are the last revision I personally know of. Any of the phase 2s are pretty solid as all they are prone to is small external leaks. Subau claims its sealer clears this up.

Setright Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Sounds about right. Do keep in mind that the HG issue is a weakness, not a certain-to-happen fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
