Hi. I know that the Subaru 2.5's have a lot of head gasket trouble, but I have a 2001 Subaru Outback with the 3.0L H6 engine. I have not heard anything on these engines eventually needing head gaskets like the 2.5's. I was wondering if you know anything about this? Thanks, Ben.

If you regularly flush your coolant system and never let the car overheat and maintain it, you may never have to worry about the head gaskets going out in it. But when they go out it is completely random.
