Hello i have an issue w my legacy 2008. Recently i just changed the headgaskets on them bc i was getting compression gasses in the radiator and it was overheating. But after i changed the gaskets its still overheating. No compressipn gasses tho. It mainly only overheats while in idle I was watching it bleed and when i gassed it the coolant would go right down and the meter would go down to normal. Idk if theres some sort of clog. Ive already ordered a water pump for it. And im.also getting smoke coming from the exhaust manifold.

I'm using a regular funnel but air keeps finding its way into the cooling system. I bled it once got The heater core working then turned the car off no gurgles . came back the next day and it gurgled after running it a few minutes. The funnel tho is just as great it makes a seal w tape and is super wide. Regardless coolant still will jump out from even the top of the radiator out onto the floor. I already bought a gasket maker will be testing it out soon

Thanks i have a feeling it may be head gasket bc i have 1 cylinder that misfires. Thermostat is new and the fans do turn on. I'm kind of an amateur at fixing car parts and dont really have the money for a repair job. Should I attempt to try and fix it myself? Or should I get a head gasket fixer fluid and try that

I have a legacy that overheats when it warms up. However there are no leaks from the system. When I drive it, it will overheat but the only leak I see is from the radiator cap which will steam out. I have attempted to bleed the system because there is gurgling but each time i try to bleed when it gets warm the coolant will start just sloshing up and out of the funnel I use. Idk if its a head gasket the fluids are all clean and there is no white clouds from the exhaust. It also seems as if the higher hose is pressurized. Any suggestions?

177 thousand miles on it. I didnt think it would be that serious but ill do a compression test and keep you updated. EJ255 2.5i. Before this i actually had to replace the valve cover gaskets bc there was oil in the sparkplug well.

So hey just I just bought a legacy and I'm a noob. The only issue im having is when i start up the car it idles really rough and it misfires randomly. As soon as I push the gas it smoothes out and the rpms drop below 1000 and it doesn't misfire. Now I have a cheap little code scanner. And it tells me the cylinder number 3 is misfiring. However i really suck at navigating torque so idk how to look at misfires counter. I got new spark plugs for it and spark plug coils. The fuel injectors look really clean. And I hear them click repeatedly when the engine is running. No hissing noises. Clean air intake sensor. Can someone assist me here on what I should be checking next. Thanks
