Forester 2.0X overheating after head rebuild
Well done one the head rebuild your braver than i am ! Have you checked the expansion bottle when hot for signs of overflow or bubbling ? If so its not great news :-( Are you using a genuine subaru thermostat & what coolant are you using ? May be worth popping a new one in just to see if it makes a difference If theres no dramas from the expansion bottle i'd check the rad hoses for cold spots could indicate an air lock, then try burping the system.

It may be easier to meet you at the motorway turn off for me as I need to collect the baby on way home, and drop her off how long does it take you to get up there ? I should be able to turn it around for half six then head up Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

what engine to replace mine
Could try api although a rebuild will cost 1200 plus vat for standard parts, Savage was offering a good motor for a good price for your budget you could get it mapped too, no need to run it at it max bhp, as you already have the fmic and what not its a sure fire way to get at least 300bhp from it, Whats the garage said regarding your engine ?

If you remove the cats you'll need to put them back on at mot time or find yourself an understanding mot tester, If it's more volume just change the back two sections and don't bother with the map, if you really want to go for it it's gonna cost near enough a grand for a full turbo back and remap, I take it your gonma need an ecutek map for your model ?
