Subaru Crosstrek 2.0 How to Replace Head Gaskets and Reseal Engine
In this video I have a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek with a 2.0 FB20 non turbo engine that the concern is oil in the coolant. I confirmed oil in the coolant and performed block test, test failed indicating the head gasket has blown. This will require engine to come out of the car, onto an engine stand and the cylinder heads removed. In this video I will show you how to disassemble this engine down to the block, and reinstall everything back to normal. We will even reseal another part that is common to allow oil into the coolant. Let's get started because this is a big job. Pay attention for some big bloopers I made on this job.
