mark555 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Hi everyone, my cars approaching 100k miles and I would like my head gasket replaced. Subaru want £3,000 and I think it’s a bit excessive just to replace them with the sane gaskets that have known issues to begin with. May I ask if anyone knows somewhere in northwest I could maybe have it done cheaper with good gaskets like cosworth or something.

Mr B Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 It was only graphite gaskets on some non turbo engines that had known issues & TSB . Subaru mls gaskets are pretty good, head design along with maintenance driving style and tune is more linked to failures . With high mileage and if been leaking for a long time you could require more than just head gaskets, more so if been tuned. Really need engine health assessment before considering repair options .
