I have two Subys, an '89 Coupe and a '97 Wagon. The '89 has the 1800 andthe '97 has the 2.2 SOHC engine. I was looking for information onreplacing the headgaskets (BOTH have BHGs...) and ran across this atAutoZone: shows them yanking the heads on both engines without removing theengine from the car. Now, I don't know what models these are, but thissure makes the job look pretty easy!Also, on the 2.2 motor, notice that the head bolts are not covered by thevalve covers! This is real interesting. However, i think for ease ofremoving the heads, it would make more sense to remove the covers to gainsome additional room...Looks like this might be easier than I expected...so why are peoplecharging $1000-1200?!?!?!

..and in my case (as I never tire of whining about!) 2 BHG on the *same* car with only 160,000 km!
