Are there any aftermarket replacements that are more reliable for the 2000-2004 Phase SOHC 2.5 liter, or are owners of Subarus with those engines stuck with using the OEM Subaru head gasket? Justin,

What do you think the chances are of Subaru just using this gasket on the open block design as some internet forum posts say thats ok to do? I recently purchased a 2011 Legacy as I thought the gasket problem was fixed in 05. I'm really glad I found this post to say the least. It sounds like the multi layer gasket in of itself gives me some relief even if its not a semi closed setup, but I hope it is! If I ever have a problem I'll be making the drive to your shop! Justin,
