Subaru head gaskets
by one_shot on Jun 11 2018, 5:27 PMHey guys, just wondering what everyone has luck with for Subaru 2.5 head gaskets. Just got a 2012 outback on with the SOHC EJ25 and want this set to last. The car only has 80k miles and they’re already leaking.

This is a very common issue with the EJ25. I have done several head gasket jobs on these engines. The most frequent failure area is at the very bottom of the heads particularly around the oil return galleys. I have a 2008 Impreza with 59,000 on it and they have been leaking for a little while already. I won't lo likely replace them until it leaks badly enough where I have to add oil in between changes or the dripping on the exhaust on the right side creates a constant smell while driving. The good news is once they are replaced properly with machining the heads they do no leak again, at least from what ive seen. Other than the head gasket issue the EJ25s are good long lasting reliable engines.
