Hey Steve...
I just took my 93 liberty to subie. they said head gaskets are farked. $9000...!!!!!
massive price due to the fact that i took it to subaru dealership, and also subies have 2 heads due to the horizontalkky opposed thing. this means theres twice as much labour as other cars.

pretty big job doing it yourself... If its a DOHC, Ie your timing belt runs around four (2 either side) camshafts. If Its An EJ22, It's probably an interference enjine, which means if any of the spring loaded cams spins when the timeing belt is off, It'll bend the cars and you'll need to put a new enjine in....

Which is probably cheaper than gettin gaskets replaced :)

Subarus... GREAT to drive... shitheads when they break down!
