Head gasket number two of 2006.
2nd head gasket of this year failed this morning driving to work
. Don't think there is much damaged caused as I switch the engine off once the water temp reached 100 degrees and had the AA tow my car home. So deciding to ditch the V2 RA heads a fit some V3 STi heads instead along with new stud bolts and gaskets. As the V2 heads have been skimmed once already and I've suspected a cracked cylinder head for some time as slight hesitation once coming on to full boost even after regapping the plugs three times and changing the coil packs. So I'm starting to strip the engine tomorrow and hope there is no damage to my block. Subaru ownership is becoming very costly!.
Has anyone else blown two head gaskets in 9 months?.
