Head gasket OEM Toyota or OEM Subaru

replace them with the head gasket from the EJ255 or 257. They’re made of MLS and most shops do that in order to make it last longer since they rarely blow.

642 head gaskets from a similar year wrx. Don’t use the same 633 or you will have the same problem again.

My HG went bad around 180k, with no EGR cleaning by the previous owner. It started to consume coolant pretty quick and smoke came out of coolant tank lol

Replaced HG is a few weeks, cleaned air intake manifold and EGR. Now, I’m hoping to get many more miles from it :)

I'll toss in the 7M-GE/GTE. Pretty much guaranteed to have a failed head gasket due to under-torqued head bolts unless you caught it ahead of time. Usually happened at the back due to excessive heat at the rear of the engine.

Keep in mind I got rid of a 2013 Forester that had the infamous Subaru head gasket issue. Not an issue I want to ever deal with again.

The Japanese car that's let me down has been Subaru. Two blown head gaskets resulted in the engine overheating and basically turning into scrap.

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.

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.
