Owner reviews for head gasket

That's a nice Victor Reinz MLS head gasket.

The Tig won't need head gaskets at ~150k like every other subi does. The TSI pretty much has reliability nailed down now, IMHO. Change the oil and drive.

OEM should be fine.

I just made a key to a 22 toyota corolla cross with 9200 miles on it and the head gasket was blown, was at an auto auction, the wreck wasnt that bad at all I was really surprised, I've made keys to 10x worse and didnt burn coolant lol

I have a 2010 with 218k miles loses zero oil but I lose coolant think I have a head issue. But I've put about 20k on the car just topping off coolant once a week. I would say the head gasket issue is pretty high I've never had a car with a bad head until now.

My 2011 C30 had many expensive problems. The most expensive being a head gasket @55k miles and $3,800. It was always fun to drive but now I have the 2022 C40 which is even better!

Unfortunately subaru only realized that the late 90s Subarus had an unreliable gasket material. They started switching to multi-layered metal gaskets around 99-ish. This is a really common issues with the NA 2.5.

Head gasket, typical Subaru issue.

Mine went at 180k and took the engine with it due to loss of oil pressure.

My 2006 head gaskets were leaking prior to 130k. Ticking time bomb in my opinion.
