The turbo and the rocker cover gasket I think. I presume he meant the head.

It’s been smoking for quite a while had seals done but it still kept leaking and one day it’s just lost loads of oil , but the coolant and water levels stayed the same and had no oil in them. The Garage said it wasn’t pressurising. it had the. Cambelt done a month ago and the temp gauge never really moved over half way so don’t think it was overheating. I’m thinking about getting a completely refurbed engine seems like a better investment hopefully should sort the problem.

I think he meant that the head needs re skimming sounded like a major job

Cheers m8 Yeah I think so apparently it’s a rebuild job or new engine

Hi guys new to this forum need some advice. I own a 2003 Subaru wrx it’s done 157000 miles so high mileage , been told the head has become porous , the garage said the most cost effectIve option would be to get a second hand engine but the same could happen again , or I could get it refurbed. The only other option would be to get a newer better condition one on finance and hopefully not have reliability issues that I’ve had. Cheers guys
