One of the head gaskets on my 2.2 Subaru has decided to leak combustion gases into the coolant. Just wondered what people consider to be the best gaskets to buy? Subaru or some other?

Thanks

As helpful as that was. I used fel-pro on the last set I did. The rumor mill says they are the same as oem. They've been good so far!

Six-star, Cometic or any MIL (multi layer) gasket is what is best. As stated I've heard some of the felpro MIL gasket are just as good too.
I'm pretty sure that is what Casey was saying, he just didn't type it all out, he gets a little lazy when it comes to non VAG questions !
