Blown Head Gasket

letsgoyankees · 05-18-2008, 05:01 PM

I have 82,000 on the fxt. Anything I sould have them do while they have the engine torn apart? Timing belt, Plugs. Also any ideas on how much it might cost per side.

usually its not per side its both at once is the only way to go. usually 1500-2000 the price shouldn't change even if you decide to add your own clutch flywheel timing belt water pump tstat seals hoses oil pump seals spark plugs which I would get it myself prior install so you know what's getting repair. Fortunately the mechanic I have let's you watch them do it in the shop.

If you haven't already, you should post this in the HG poll at subaruforester.org . There haven't been many on SG Foresters.
