hey guys all the subies with the OHC engines had head gasket problems, even the 2.2 L but it is probably the better of the bunch. We have done hundreds of them , happens about 150K and you really need to rework the heads while you have them off as the valves and seats wear real bad., not just replace the head gaskets. They also had problems with the radiators which causes a lot of the head gasket problems. later mark D salem import service
