Dealers are simply replacing the gaskets, and they keep on failing, until someone takes the time to drop the motor, mill the cyl and heads FLAT, then install the upgraded gaskets.

The Dealers just keep you coming back so they can charge you all that labor.

Other than the head gaskets, the Outback is a fine vehicle.

Thanks for the info Charlie. I will definitely check your suggestion out. I may just purchase a 6 cylinder 2010 Toyota Highlander because I know a lot more about the dependability of Toyota's must know very little about Subaru's. Sometimes it is just better to go with what ya know.
