my mate Simon had exactly the same problems recently

fitted a new thermostat , 13 quid from ashburton . still the same so they did something to the stat , took something out

there was still an air lock there but they managed to get it out , eventually ,

 

now, he's rang me this morning(10 days later) , his head gasket HAS gone :(

always leads to the same thing

the thing about gudge etc is only if it's been gone for a while , it doesn't always show up especially if it's recent .

it's actually not a massive job and not worth worrying over too much

for a good subaru tuner getting the engine in n out and the heads on n off is a days work ish

stick with the standard STi gaskets Lou , they are more than up to the job (normally :D )

i have them on mine and you know my power :(

AWW man, i hate hearing bad news, but at least there is good to come out of it!.

Are you both just having the head gaskit replaced, or adding a bit of extra ooommmphhh at the same time?
