Do not order any other seal kits!

This gasket set was great. To be honest I didn't use all the pads because I didn't know where the most opaque ones went. A sheet of labels would be nice. Anyway, a few months ago I replaced the head gaskets and replaced most of the other gaskets during a major overhaul. There are no leaks at all. Note that the head gaskets are MLS so you need to rebuild the heads properly.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Modern

This kit is a good upgrade for ej253 or any Subaru with .

This kit is a good upgrade for the ej253 or any Subaru with a blown single ply headgasket. It's a laminated steel gasket and it's held up great so far. It comes with a bunch of spacers that you don't really need. All I used were head gaskets, valve cover rubber gaskets and bushings, intake manifold and throttle body gaskets. I couldn't use exhaust gaskets on the 2005 Outback because it has an oval bore instead of the double bore like the old Subaru heads.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Succinct manual

Fits Subaru Outback EJ251 '01

The complaint is the same as everyone else: the product comes without literature and graphics. Just the packing list on the box. Which seal is which? Why do I have to search the internet to get this information? Argggh. Came with all (four) possible throttle body gaskets. Again, the included black seal maker bottle is confusing until you eventually reach Mordor, defeat the Eye of Sauron, and rebalance the Force to get the answer. Just an exploded view of the engine with gasket placement and…

Pros
  • Best of its kind
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Complete Gasket Kit for Subaru 2.5 liter engine

I bought this kit as part of an engine transplant for a 2002 Subaru with a 2.5 liter engine. I haven't had a chance to judge the quality of the parts, but Fel-Pro is a respected brand and after a few hundred miles it's fine. The head gaskets in the kit are laminated steel (MLS) and my research has shown that they are an upgrade from the OEM gaskets that came with this year's Subaru, which sometimes causes problems. All of the components I used (head gaskets, intake and exhaust valve gaskets…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Upgradeable
