Forester head gasket

M

Matt W

I am looking at a 99 Forester that needs a head gasket. I am wondering how
much work is involved with this and generally which is the best way to
approach the matter (in chassis, pull the engine, or ??). I don't mind
doing the work, but I would like to get a little bit of an idea of what I am
getting myself into as I have never done this sort of work on a Subaru.
Thanks.

The head gaskets can be done in the car but you need to do most from the
bottom. The eng is easy to pull and al home I would suggest that. While out
do the timing belt, cam crank seals, oil seperator plate and rear main
seals. Some engs also have a plug on the rear of the right head, do it also.
Check the head for flatness when out
