There is no decal under the hood, nor is there any related information in the owners manual.

I have a 1998 Subaru Forester S with 150,000 miles on it. The engine just died this weekend (blown head gasket apparently). According to the mechanic who looked at it (someone I don't know as this happened while I was away for the weekend), the engine has a lot of aluminum in it and so gets damaged easily if it overheats, which it did.

With this many miles on it, I'd probably just let the car go, rather than spend probably about $2K to replace the engine BUT I just put a bunch of money into it two months ago for a new fuel tank, sensors and lines, new rear struts and new pistons for the rear hatch. Plus four brand-new tires. So if I decide just to junk the car, that money is pretty much down the toilet.

Any opinions on whether or not it's worth replacing the engine? The body's in good shape and I had the clutch replaced a couple of years ago.

The last time I drove my car was 3 days ago. The Check Engine light was never on and today it was. It still ran. I drove for maybe 3 miles. I brought my brother to school and back. Do you have any idea what I should look for that might help me save a trip to the mechanic? Thank you very much guys.

all good except for #8. Looked like something had hit electron. No water in oil, did not over heat. Motor starts and idals without any sounds but running on 7 cylenders. Oil seems to be blowing out of breather tube on valve cover.

Could the timing on the belt be still off by a notch? and the radiater be pluged?The lower hose is not as hot as the top hose.And I don't seem to see eney flow thrue the radiater and I don't have a thermestat in the engine at this time.

I have an 04 neon and the power point pops its fuse every time I try to use it. It has a 20 amp fuse, but its labeled mtv. Right beside the fuse slot on the fuse panel is a relay spot i'm just curious if it needs the relay as well as the fuse and what mtv stands for.
