Hey guys, I'm having problems with my gen 3 rx. I believe its head related as I've only recently had to replace the heads on my gen 2due to the head being cracked. The symptoms are similar but I think (hope) this one is just a gasket. The car won't drive without over heating and it looks like the combustion chamber is pressurising the radiator. I've also noticed a huge amount of steam coming from the exhaust and when it its running it coughs and chokes on initial takeoff until it clears the chamber/s of water.
The reason for my post is That I'm looking for any advice or hints on doing the repairs myself. I do 90% of the work on my cars but I've never changed the heads on a subie before. I imagine it would be very similar to other cars apart from the obvious, the heads are located on the sides and there is two of them. I'm going to take the motor out cause I don't think it can be done properly otherwise. I'm just after a little advice and any helpful info to make the job easier. What type of gaskets should I use, I don't want to do it again if the factory ones are inferior. I'll be sending the heads off for inspection to either all heads or hoppers heads. I'm not in a rush to do the job as the car is in the garage away from the weather and I can easily get to work on the bus for a while, I would like to get it done fairly quickly as its a pain not having use of my car. Thanks in advance for your help guys
