Hello, Had my Subaru 1998 Forester head gasket changed for 950.00 at the dealer. The oil was getting into the coolant and coolant into the oil. Temp gauge went up often. All good now. $1600 seems too much. Unless the mechanic suspects a warped head do to prolonged overheating. My heads did not need machining. Good luck..RAM <leszekny RemoveThis @gmail.com> wrote in message news:1162500802.693833.91260@m73g2000cwd.googlegroups.com... > HI > I have subaru forester 1998, 110k miles.
