Hi All-

 

I am sold on Subauru's. I own and I am selling my 96 OB. My wife drives an 05, this thing flies compared to my 96.

 

I am going to upgrade and want to try a 6 cylinder version.

 

Any head gaskets issues? At what mileage should the timing belt (or chain?) be done?

 

Any other known issues with the 6 banger?

 

Appreciate the info

John

No known issues with the H6 motor. No headgasket issue. I would think change the chain when it seems noisy.

Be positively religious about oil changes. The chain tensioners are lubricated by the engine oil. Seems that the tensioners will last a long time and service the chain well if oil changes are regular and you don't let the engine run low on oil. If not, major engine damage!
