Subaru Motor

Our Outback has a leaky head gasket after 224,000 miles. I contacted CNC Motors in Santa Ana, California about one of their used engines from Japan. Seems that the Japanese have VERY STRICT inspection requirements and the engines for sale have <60,000 miles. CNC motors say they offer 6mo./6000mi. warranty. The price delivered is $1300. The cost just to replace the head gaskets is close to that and I will still have a 224,000 mile engine. This has been an excellent car for my wife. She drives like Mario Andretti

, rain, snow, sleet, or sunshine. I have been her one man pit crew for many years. Any thoughts or experiences to share are all appreciated. Thanks, GregH
