Head Gasket Replacement Information at Mike Shaw Subaru in Denver, CO

Even if you've never turned a wrench on your own car in your life, you probably are aware that a blown head gasket is a major problem. This crucial gasket forms a seal between the two halves of your car's engine. Over time, due to the intense heat from combustion and other forces, this gasket can begin to leak. When it does, the engine will need a significant repair to replace this gasket with a new one. Otherwise, the engine can start to overheat and sustain significant damage!

Luckily, head gasket repair is a commonplace procedure for the experts in our service center. Our experienced technicians can replace the head gasket on your car, and you'll be on your way to thousands and thousands more miles of faithful service from your Subaru.

Which Subaru Model Years Suffered From Head Gasket Issues?

While just about any gas- or diesel-burning engine found in a modern car has a head gasket that can blow, the 2.5L naturally aspirated, four-cylinder BOXER® engine found in many older Subaru models was notorious for head gasket leaks. If your Subaru model features a 2.5L four-cylinder non-turbo engine from the 1999-2011 model years, consider stopping by to have the engine looked at.

As these engines approach 100,000 miles on the clock, head gasket leaks become quite likely. If your Subaru has fewer miles on it than this, we can extend the life of your engine's gaskets by replacing the oil and coolant with high-quality, Subaru-approved fluids and adding special head gasket conditioner to the system. If your engine has more miles than this, we'll want to identify a head gasket leak early and fix it before it can cause severe internal damage to the engine.
