Re: Might have a blown headgasket

Tony,

Try to give Tom Krynock a call on this (304) 582-6735. He can probably give you more accurate time and cost estimates, machining rates, etc.

The MLS head gaskets by Cometic are .066" thick and a 98mm bore for your stock engine. They run about $230.00 for a pair.

Since the manifold and heads have to come off, this is the time to do the timing belt and water pump, plugs, PVC, etc if it hasn't been done. Not sure if your rubber vacuum manifold hoses are in good shape.

The complete engine reseal kit is available from Subaru, part number 10105AA060, is about $240.00. Check this post for a list of parts it contains. Cheaper than buying them individually.

Think this repair will be in the $2,000 range, maybe a little more. Probably pulling the engine is the easiest way.

Here is what I paid AWD, Inc. back in 2009 for my Polo engine work with 127,000 miles. YT was charging network members about $65.00/hr. back then.

Subtract about $1,000 for my exhaust work, front axles, etc. from the total.


Check with Jackie at Annapolis Subaru for great prices on parts.
(443) 851-1420.


You can always call me at 410-746-6770.
