sorry to hear about that white smoke. It's not a very good indicator. When the head gasket went in my car I decided to get a used engine instead of rebuilding it. I had 110k miles at the time. When I got the engine out and the heads off I found the block was not flat. The used engine was less expensive then getting a short block. It was was also quicker then getting the block remachined. How much are you willing to spend?

Do Eg33 have a problem with head gaskets, like the ej25.

I think John and I would beg to differ
on that one Mike
I agree, it sounds bad for your engine. Probaby best to have a trained Subaru Tech look at it. Cost will be high for whatever engine repair is necessary unless you do the work yourself Todd (I've replaced the headgaskets on mine)

I know for a 2j25 head gasket its around $2500-$3000 US. The reason the cost are so high is because you have to take out the engine to change the head gasket.

Just kidding. I agree with Mike - I don't think we've seen anything which would suggest that the EG33 is prone to any kind of failure. They seem to be extremely well-built and reliable. Blown head gaskets are not common, even though most of our SVXen are ten or eleven years old.
