1st subaru!! 1997 OB

Featured Replies

Hello to all,

Wow, this site looks great. Too much stuff!!!! Anyways I just picked up a 1997 OB 157,000 miles. Great shape, but needs head gaskets.......I haven't bought a manual yet, but wopuld like some recommendations on the best one to purchase. Oh ya........any comments on the head gasket change would be greatly appreciated........and, by the way, I have been into Land Rovers for the last eight years if anyone on the board has any questions........

 

looking forward to enjoying Soobs and this board.......

Welcome.

 

Search for "headgasket". You'll find more than you can read in an evening.

 

Then ask specific questions.

 

Please update your city to actually tell us something useful - like a region or state.

Thanks.

 

There are very helpful folks here that have been known to stop over and give a hand, recommend local sources, etc. But only if they know where you are at.

 

Search for trhe Headgasket threads, links to Endwrench, and decide whether to fix yours or swap in a 2.2. I use rod knock as my determining factor on whether to fix or replace.

 

Probably some under "similar threads" at the bottom of your screen right now.
