EA82 Head Gasket prices

Featured Replies

I went to the dealer to get some HG's the other day and they were $74 each, hg only.

 

What do you pay????

i bought some monotorque yesterday for an ea82t in adelaide

trade price was $49 for 1 pair which is both sides.....sounds like they trying to rip you !

I went to the dealer

looks like he's looking for Subaru OEM parts, which is often highly recommended here over aftermarket. dealer prices can vary all over the place. even still OEM subaru head gaskets can be had for $26 for the XT6 and less for the EA82. the dealer may be able to come down in price or come close to matching another dealers price if you get a quote from a State-side dealer. worth a shot, that price seems very high.

 

if you have time, have someone send you a set from the states. maybe one of the online Subaru retailers would ship it to you? might not be much of a savings, but if you ordered a load of stuff it may be worth it.

Down here in New Zealand I only paid $20 for a complete gasket set from exhaust to head gaskets!! :banana:

I pay under $16AUD each for mine, that's for a EA81 though. They seem to work fine. Personally I think the "must get OEM" thing is just nuts...

Depends on the gasket I think. Some are just made flimsy and you can tell.

Ever owned an old school turbo car?

 

 

..........Lcal dealer wanted $75 plus tax for a pair of OEM EA82 HGs

 

Got them from 1stsubaruparts.com for 49/pr.. shipped

i went onto a site

www.partsvoice.com. (everybody bookmark this site!)

 

dealerships sign onto the site and list all there old inventory... its an amazing source for OEM parts... some really odd ball stuff... things you'd never find new anywhere else... crazy expencive for the weird stuff...

 

i haven't tested it out yet to see if it actually is a good source of parts... but their lists are huge! it'll give you the price and where the parts are located...

 

anywho... i found some on there for 31 bucks... dunno if its for 1 or for a set... but it should be OEM... a bunch cheaper then 75 bucks!:)

 

the site is good for other types of cars too!

No, I haven't. And I understand that the design of the EA82T is such that it is delicate and needs top notch gear to run right. Also, the gaskets I get look better then OEM, but I guess not all of you are so lucky.

 

On another note. Isn't this topic started by a guy who has a "92 Carby Dl Wagon"... I dubt it's a turbo...

Mind telling me where that was from? I'm about to start an EA81 rebuild.

Yes i do own a carb'd l series, but i also own a touring wagon with a turbo vortex motor in it.

 

Ive looked and i can get an ACL Valve regrind kit for a bit over $200

I think this may be my better option

 

Thanks for the replys guys
