Last time I was up at autozone they didn’t sell any reman ones for my 07 gt. All they sold was duralast gold which are brand new ones.

Thanks I’ll have a look there. They did say it was my drivers side cam carrier leaking(which these cars don’t even have cam carriers)

Actually yes I do have a gurgling noise when I start the car up. It’s kind of a gurgling but it also just sounds like water/coolant running through pipes. Is that what you mean?

My 07 gt had an autozone cv axle on the driver side front when I first got the car. The steering wheel would vibrate like crazy while i was stopped with the car in drive. Replaced it with a Subaru axle after looking up what would of been the problem and sure enough the vibration stopped. So using a part store cv axle is really hit or miss I would say.

Also just Used the block tester kit. The fluid stayed blue. But it said do it for 2 minutes I couldn’t do it for two minutes because eventually the tester would just suck in coolant. I removed as much coolant as I could grab with a siphon. About 2-3 inches below the rad cap but it would just expand and get sucked in the tester in about a minute. I tried it multiple times. One test I’m guessing I sucked all the air out of the rad and the bulb wouldn’t even squeeze anymore without pushing the blue fluid out. Safe to say no leak? Or am I using this tester wrong?

Sadly, I actually tried to have LKQ warranty it when the dealership said I had oil leaks and a bad head gasket. They told me since I didn’t buy the engine that the warranty doesn’t transfer from person to person. The place I bought the car from bought the engine and had it installed. Also tried to see what my car warranty would cover and they didn’t want to cover Subaru’s 15 hours of labor for head gaskets which is why I decided it be better if I just did it myself. I’ve done suby head gaskets before not on a turbo legacy gt but on a 99 gt and a 98 Legacy

I just rented a block tester at autozone. I’ll see what that shows tomorrow don’t feel like doing it in the dark haha.

It’s a gt. But it’s a reman engine from LKQ and basically all their reviews online say the engines start leaking something within 1000 miles

Okay so you guys might remember me posting about my rear axle clip then saying I smelt coolant coming from my exhaust. Then how I took it to Subaru and they said it was a blown head gasket and it had oil leaks. Got a few questions about what you guys think. I don’t smell the coolant anymore. When I first smelt the coolant the week before hand I did fill up the coolant reservoir and didn’t touch the car after I filled it up. And when I did start it up it did smell like coolant and the reservoir was empty. Now that I think of it the smell might of actually been from coolant that got spilled on the exhaust manifold and that was just left to dry on it while I did use it. But for the reservoir being empty that part I’m still confused about so was wondering what you guys think? Air bubbles, coolant leak, head gasket blown? Also if the head gasket was bad between the combustion chamber and the coolant passages I thought there was suppose to be air bubbles in the reservoir. While the car was running there was none and driving it pretty hard and coming back home I rechecked and still no bubbles. Second they said my car was leaking a lot of oil. Now I don’t think that my car isn’t leaking oil but they was they said it is check my oil daily because it is pouring out oil. My oil has yet to move it’s still at full. Any idea where to go from here? I didn’t rent a kit to see if there really is any combustion chamber fumes in the coolant but I will be doing that tomorrow. But if there isn’t any what do you guys think I should do from there? I have the entire head gasket kit, arp head studs, and was going to get oem timing belt kit with a new tensioner and water pump. If my head gaskets are good should I go ahead and replace everything anyways? Or just keep the stuff on hand and wait until I really need it? Thinking this was just one of those moments the dealership just tried to scam a load of money from me but curious on what you guys think. EDIT: also forgot to mention my coolant looks fine green no rust or particles I can see in it. My oil also looks fine it’s not a milkshake nothing on the bottom of my oil cap nothing leading me to believe it’s a oil to coolant leak.
