What have you done?
You have made a decision to purchase quality parts at the best prices using a supporting vendor!
I especially applaud your choice for picking raybestos for rotors and pads.
You are going to throw that 12.37 thermostat in the trash correct?
Then you will buy the OEM correct one, which is going to cost less and use the right one?
You know a non oem thermo is JUNK right?
Those rotors will last a year then warp badly too, cause yeah, not oem.
I would also toss the felpro headgaskets in garbage and put on OEM "turbo" gaskets.
do you ever remove the seat covers and put it into the laundry, or is that too much of a pain? which model is Mr. Steamy? I think it's way too much of a pain tbh. Mr Steamy is a McCulloch MC1375 :grin2: Cool! I looked mine over really well this afternoon and even though I smell faint coolant...

If I see much further than the next guy, it's only because I'm probably looking at myself!
Good luck with the project. The Fel Pro gaskets will do just fine, BTW; I've got Six Star in mine and they have held up OK. They don't have to be the genuine Subaru multi-layer XT part; both Fel Pro and Six Star multilayer are good quality gaskets.

That total is nothing compared to the time put in to do the job right - and I know @aesthetic.rake does do it right, take a look at the photos from the last time he succumbed to the temptation to tackle a project this size.
But he doesn't hold the all-time biggest Outback project title - that rightfully belongs to this guy, and the title will likely stay with him:
Purchased this guy five years and 125k miles ago. Treated me well, only asking for head gaskets once and routine maintenance. Once it hit 285k it started using oil at a rate of about 1qt every 1k miles. Gets spendy when you use Mobil 1 synthetic. Didn't show massive external leakage and no...
Now that you point it out, it sort of looks like he just dropped off the edge of the earth after posting a continuous stream of project updates. And there indeed were a couple of hiccups toward the end.
I likewise was rooting for him to successfully complete it.

Sorry for the melodramatic title, lol, but I’m having a serious facepalm moment today. 2008 2.5i (non-turbo) Outback 5-speed. I’ve been trying to track down the source of some occasional smoke coming from the passenger side of my engine bay. I check under the hood practically every time I park...
Hey guys, I recently took out my ej25 block out of my na 2008 outback. It has had one head-gasket replaced already. i took it out because it was leaking oil out of the passenger rear cam seal. I was wondering if there are any other things that you guys would recommend I do while the engine is...
Hi all. 2005 XT with Check Engine light & Cruise flashing constant. Cruise is inoperable as well. Evap code on the reader. Oem gas cap eta next week to start. Any advice? Where to start?
Thanks all
Hi All,
My car is having hard time starting. Will only work if i jiggle park shifter back and forth or in neutral. Car just came out of shop and it happened on their lot first. Never had time to put in back in. Mechanic said its some sort of bushing and mentioned something about melting...
