rchayes21 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 What can I say- I just love this car. I could have upgraded, but I chose to keep the Legacy. (Ya. I’m crazy. I know) The Legacy breached 100k miles. It had head gasket leaks bilaterally. Needed timing belt and a catalytic converter and MANY other parts. The following projects were completed. -Head Gaskets -Timing Belt -Spark Plugs -Spark Plug Tube Seals -intake manifold gaskets -reseal oil pan -Catalytic Converter -Front differential flush -Rear differential flush -Brake flush -Transmission flush The Legacy runs like she is brand new. No matter what anyone says - I feel like I made the right choice. Call me crazy, but I love this car and it just gives me a certain nostalgia.

GEE-OTTO Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 One question: How will the new gasket seal the cylinder completely since it doesnt have any material in the center? See pic below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexi Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Great pictures, thank you. I would love to do this to my car too, pull the engine, do both head gaskets and the clutch... I've never pulled an engine before though, not sure how long all of that would take me to do. It's interesting how the gasket does look like it's missing material in the center like that, but it's also missing on the old gasket too it looks like..

rchayes21 Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Phew ha i was just being over observant - No, you're fine. I did the same thing when I saw the new gasket and also had to double check myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
