Ok. I read somewhere that the new 'blue' Subaru coolant had an additive that conditions the gaskets, but then that didn't make sense, because the coolant could only touch the parts that have coolant in them, not the ones that have oil in them. My mistake.

Ok, that makes sense - Robots create engines now, whereas men built the engines that I've rebuilt in the past. But just because it was created that way, doesn't mean I couldn't create a gasket to make things easier, even though it would be a massive gasket.
