I'm going to yank the engine out of my 94 Legacy and overhaul it. 100,000 miles, blown head gasket, still runs but overheats. I'm looking for specific do's and don'ts, things to do, things to watch out for. I worked as a mechanic for years, still have all my tools, and have been through several engines (mazda, datsun, ford, mopar). What makes this overhaul job different from any other 4 banger? Where am I likely to get into trouble?

Unless your having oil consumption; I'd just pull the heads and put new gaskets on it; we do it all the tine at our shop
No place is better for info about keeping soobs running (especially older soobs) Than

. Just do a few searches, read, then ask specific questions and you will find very experienced/knowledgable folks there.

I agree. 100K isn't a lot of miles for a Subaru. The last time I took my car in for service they had the engine out of an Outback and were putting new head gaskets on it.
