Hops Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Third set of head gaskets, btw. I had something else to drive so I did them myself this time to make sure they were done right! Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95 subiee Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 haha im on 226k! not leaking yet... probably need new gaskets soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 226k on an old suby and never done head gaskets... You must have the 2.2. As long as you don't overheat it, I really doubt the head gaskets will blow. I got an ej22 in unknown condition, but knowing it has well over 300k miles. Put it in my car, bubbles... Took it out and the gasket around the water ports was all blown out. So obviously the engine was severely overheated. Other than that, the gaskets looked really good.

95 subiee Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 ya lol it is the 2.2 which must be a good motor from the sounds of it. Im new to all this but im trying to learn how to work on the beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 You probably won't have to do much to it... Change the oil and change the rest of the fluids ever now and again. It should go for a long time. Do you have an auto or stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have faith in subies now. after this car being thrashed and running as good as it does im a believer lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Nothing wrong with an auto. My legacy is an auto. 234k miles and counting. It's nice to just hop in my DD, put it in D and go. When it dies I'll swap to a stick, I have most of the parts. My fun suby is a stick, so I can drive that around if I miss shifting. I advise draining the tranny and adding new fluid. And doing it again in 100 miles. then again. Then pulling the pain and changing the filter. If it's working well, do this to make sure it stays working will.

Frogg Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 171k. although, right now i have a problem that the crankshaft pulley got loose from previous owner not torqueing it down enough. damage to pulley, key, belts, and the crankshaft has a small chip but is where it will not have ill effects. That was a blessing. I'm replacing the pulley with a lightened one, key and belts this week(among a few other small things). Should be top notch once again.
