Probably pushing $15k at my shop, but we don’t work on Subarus. 🤣😆😂. Holy shit. I’m rebuilding the engine in my truck for $1500, including pistons and a new cam. Glad I have tools and basic mechanical skills. $15k for an engine “reseal”? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By runcible: I'd be pissed if my 5 year-old car needed four grand worth of work. Ha, welcome to my world currently. Bought a 2018 Outback 3.6r on Jan 6th (lol). 2000mi /3mos later and the transmission has been grenaded by the clutch packs. Luckily, I had sprung for the extended warranty at purchase (how can I lose lol) because the service techs at Subaru recommended a full transmission replacement. That goes for about $9k for a brand new one, which they finally found 1 of 2 on the west coast. Oh, the entire infotainment screen had delamination going on as well. So, they recommended replacement of that as well to the tune of $1200 or so. Again, covered by the extended warranty. What's really annoying is that they've had the vehicle for 3wks now and nothing has been done because they were just allocated that transmission. Oh, and the dealership doesn't have enough loaner cars available. So, I've been renting from Enterprise for about 2wks, to the cost of about three car payments ($1000). This whole situation has been the absolute worst car buying experience I've ever had. All the problems were missed by the selling dealer and had begun shortly after the first month and they're claiming that it's not their problem. The only saving grace here is I spent the money on that extended warranty. If I hadn't, I may have just let it get stolen in Minecraft and driven until it was a burned-out hulk after being used by a bunch of hobos for a soup-kitchen.... |

Long time dike-mobile owner checking in...
There are 4 areas that fucking leak on the flat-jap-4 Head gaskets Rear main seal Front cam seals Front main seal In that order... Your heads will warp at some point and need machining and new gaskets. Gaskets for non turbos are pretty crappy. Before 70k miles they should be swapped out for the mls ones from a turbo. And get your heads machined while they are out. Long blocks that were serviced early with this preventative procedure should las a really long fucking time. Fucked gaskets will lead to future issues with over heating. Rear seals will go if your cats are failing and back pressure in your exhaust will start to impact the rear main long before the front. If there is coolant in your oil, you are on borrowed time. Swapping a dirty PCV after every couple of oil changes and installing an air/oil separation can will help avoid blown rear seals. PCV swaps are only delaying the inevitable. Front cam seals will start to go after there is too much tension on the timing belt (possibly due to a stuck/faulty idler) or you have overheated your motor too often (see above). Front main seal is leaking due to its time on earth in a running state coming to an end. |

$4,000 Biden dollars = $1,333.33 Trump dollars, based on the cost of Jack in the Box cheesecake.
$4,000 Biden is $1,449.28 Trump dollars, based on 2 liter Pepsi. 4,000 $Biden is 2,000 $Trump, based on Honda CRV price. There, it's not so bad. Not bad considering Biden salaries and wages are now 2x or 3x higher than Trump salaries and wages (in smaller Biden dollars). |

My son the newly minted fireman bought a 2023 outback wilderness edition. It was a courtesy vehicle with 4k miles. $10k under original sticker. He paid $250 for cert inspection plus about $2k for up to seven years of free basic maintenance and 5 years bumper to bumper warranty to fix absolutely anything on the car.
He paid a pittance for guaranteed no bad surprises. It should be a 10 year ride at least. I drive a 2016 Acura RDX with 134k miles. I’ll rock it til 200k. We are both happy with our choices. OP I would’ve traded for a new Subaru in your case. |

IMO, replacing gaskets and seals is NOT a "rebuild". Or, it could be, depending on semantics. As OP has not posted specifics of the work done, we're still in the dark here. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By aftac: Engine was pulled and some of the parts were replaced with the reseal of all the parts. I think from when I was deployed for 15 months my ex added 25K miles to the car. If the car has issues its probally that and my fault for not keeping with the dealership after the 100,000 mile warranty was expired. I kind of wanted to go new car but my goal since starting my new non DOD job has been to pay off all my debt. This could have been the problem if she did not maintain it. Spending $4000 if the job is done right and you have no more issues for the next 2 years is a $166/month car payment. I think I see the logic. I run cars/trucks until the wheels fall off. I have a 1999 truck now with about 300,000 on it. I am hoping to get another 20,000 before it dies. My daughter has a lesbaru as a company car. Runs like a sled dog through the snow. It is maintained by the company and she has never really had any problems with it. I think hers is a 2020. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bafordman: It cost about 7K for a full reseal on my 2016 F250 SD 6.7 diesel with around 210k miles last summer, included the heads. I need to get it back in due to still having a slow leak. This thread is probably the most informative I've seen on GD in a while, I had no idea this was a thing, nor that it would cost this much, nor be relevant for such recent vehicles. |

Former Subaru owner- yes in warmer climates they will develop leaks in between the engine and transmission. Not an inexpensive fix either.
Amazingly you see less of this in colder climates. |

To be fair, early GR head gaskets, UR Valley Seals and 3 UR-FE Cam Tower Leaks are oft mentioned, but not universal. Some older stuff , in the States and not has been more of a shit show. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ManMan: I had a 17yrd Civic with over 200k miles on, finally needed a new valve cover gasket. Now you will need a whole new head since new ones run almost 30 psi and use toothpicks for headstuds. |
