Is my engine blown? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Need some help here if anybody has some header gaskets or a header flange they could measure for me. Trying to buy some header gaskets at Napa but the don't have any specific for the frs. I got some down here and the measurements are 1 7/8" center hole and 4 3/8 between the bolts. Can someone measure one and send some info for me. Thanks.

I know I should get some that are specifically made for my car but this is my last hope of getting it running soon

any Subaru fa20 go with a wrx 2014 or close to it plus or minus a year the turbo applications are heavier duty

1320 header is known to have a ton of leaks. Replace that...

Btw, forrester gaskets are good. They're thicker than BRZ OEM gaskets and better material. Try those.

Check the forums for the 1320 header review. Tons have had problems. Its cheap for a reason.

I would never have known that was a thing because I've never personally experienced that.

Didn't you say earlier that you had a hanger broken/missing further back? If you haven't already fixed that, I fear your header flange nuts will loosen again. My gut says that's where this problem started. Maybe I'm repeating shit but I'm too lazy to go back and review.

Good fix, man. Thanks for doing the thread.

I plan on fixing the hanger before my header goes back on
