WRX STI 2.5 Head gasket repair & Upgrade

The Subaru EJ257 engine's head gasket failure is a common problem with the Impreza WRX/STI 2006 onwards. It can present itself in low or high-millage cars alike. Typical symptoms are as follows.

• Overheating on or off boost
• The smell of carbon gases in the water system
• The pressurisation of the water system resulting in an overflow of the plastic expansion tank

The fix is simple. We remove the engine and install up-rated head studs and gaskets while servicing and skimming cylinder heads. For cars running up to 450BHP, this ensures no further head gasket issues.

HG Upgrade includes

• RCM head studs installed
• RCM Head gaskets installed 
• Timing belt kit
• Gaskets/Seals 
• Oils and Sundries 
• Head skims and service
• Job time 5-7 days
