Thought about Rick V today.



195, 000 miles, head gaskets leaking almost as fast as you can pour it in , not blown, Still runs perfect.
He opted to grab a low mile used motor instead of doing the head gaskets, It pens out better this way for him.
I like to work on Subies.

You're working on Rick's Suburu?

One Rick doesn't have a Subi, I am just a certified Subi tech, and I'm sorry Fred, anything that makes someone think of me, really isn't all that good.
Do yourself and the owner a favor, replace the head gaskets on the new engine with the turbo gaskets and he will never have to replace them again, they don't leak on an NA engine

OK I get it.

Fred took Rick's advice.

Hey I didn't just fall off the turnip truck!
