In my years in the automotive industry, I learned that Subaru owners love their cars for good reasons (the Subaru commercials do not lie!). Subaru handle well, they have powerful engines, and with few exceptions, seem to last "forever". Subaru is the largest in the United States in 1996 has sold so far have been placed around the 4-cylinder, 2.5L EJ25 engine according to some variation.
The EJ25D was used in the 1996-1999 Subaru Impreza (1998) Legacy / Outback (1996-1999) and the Subaru Forester).This engine was very popular - it produces an enormous amount of energy thanks to its compact design and light weight. EJ25D is very cheap. The tops of some engine problems.
Facing the heat
The engine has a very wide bore (cylinder diameter) and a very short run (the distance of travel of the piston "up and down" in the cylinder). This means that there is not much metal to absorb heat from the work thing, so the cooling system must be performed correctly. ManyBusinesses report that Subaru is not easy to keep the radiator well over time, and are too cheap to "stick". That is, if the radiator is not working properly, it is better to have a new heatsink that work on your old ones.
The head gasket is also problematic as the EJ25D. This working fluid leaks from the engine through the cylinder head gasket, sometimes. Subaru is a chemical you can put in the engine, which will often fix the problem if applied earlyenough. If not treated, it can not be maintained enough pressure in the cooling system and cylinder head gasket will "blow". At this time, keep a spare engine with a better choice than your mechanic is fixed in the cylinder head.
Options EJ25D substitution: replacement part rebuilt, or used
You have some options if your head gasket is blown on EJ25D.
The first option you have is purchasing a remanufactured cylinder head. A true remanufactured cylinder head is expensiveand can not solve the problem, if the lock is broken on your EJ25D. A good mechanic is "Magnaflux" head on the block before, but not many shops. When the block is broken, you need a completely different engine mount. There are many different regenerators cylinder heads. All recyclers Magnaflux good will check their heads for cracks and pressure testing of the head when the regeneration process is complete. Your process is with a parking space and guideproduces a 3 angle valve seals security and high quality. If the treatment is completed, will achieve a head regenerated or exceed OEM standards. If you need a whole engine, Subaru is a rebuilt engine is a viable option.
You can also buy a head "rebuilt". A head is usually reconstructed, in the opinion of the writer, a waste of money because the new sets just the point of failure, so many worn parts. Longevity is very questionable.
Finally, you can buyused a head cylinder or a worn engine. This may be a good option if you find an engine or a head with "low miles", because such an engine would be less wear and "near new". This engine can not always look pretty, but it is almost always a cost-value ratio that is much in his favor. Tacking on a lower labor costs, and you'll realize that your life savings on a used Subaru engine make it very useful.
Research your supplier
Whether you are buying remanufactured,be rebuilt or used, there are two types of suppliers: the great and terrible. Research your supplier before you buy! Check out BBB.com seen (the Better Business Bureau), how many complaints your potential suppliers, and how long they have been in business. If the company just opened to be careful - there are many fly by night companies, outdoors, people, pretty lives, in the heights of close, open, and then under another name. I'm talking to consumers every day who tell me stories in tears, sosad that they make you want to cry with them. If the consumer had just spent five minutes bbb.com, would never have thrown their money!
Also understand the manufacturer's warranty. Many security measures have to follow some guidelines in place for your protection. If you do not follow these guidelines can cause engine damage and void the warranty. Good suppliers are happy to explain their warranty!
