I bought this kit as part of an engine transplant job for a 2002 Subaru with a 2.5 L engine. I don't have a way to assess the quality of the parts, but Fel-Pro is a respected brand and all is well after several hundred miles. The head gaskets in the kit are of multi-layer steel (MLS) construction, and the results of my research indicated that they were an upgrade to the occasionally troublesome OEM gaskets that came with Subarus of this vintage. All of the components I used (head gaskets, intake gaskets, exhaust gaskets, valve cover gaskets and grommets, valve parts (used by machine shop when refurbishing the heads)) fit well and seemed to be of high quality. There were some parts (throttle body gaskets, fuel injector gaskets) that I recognized but didn't use, and others that I didn't recognize, so I have a small stock of unused parts. Perhaps these kits are designed to be used by professional mechanics who would presumably know what all the parts are for, but I would have appreciated some type of identifying information. My overall impression is that the kit has every gasket that would be needed to do a complete gasket job on an engine. I was pleased with the completeness, fit-and-finish, and price of this kit.

These are the best gaskets for the infamous head gasket problems that 2.5 Subaru's have.

These gaskets worked great on my 2001 Subaru Legacy GT. The head gaskets have 3 layers of stainless steel and was of better quality than the OEM head gasket I removed. Surprisingly they were made in Japan. This does not contain head bolts, I reused my existing ones (which is fine on these Subaru's, so long as the bolts aren't damaged). The tightening sequence is:Step 1.....22 ft/lbsStep 2.....51 ft/lbsStep 3.....loosen all 180 in reverse order of tighteningStep 4.....loosen all an additional 180Step 5..... bolts 1 and 2 only 25 ft/lbsStep 6.....bolts 3,4,5,6 132 in/lbsStep 7.....tighten all bolts 80 to 90 degreesStep 8.....tighten all bolts 80 to 90 degreesthe order is of the bolts is:TOP316524BOTTOMI used a Haynes manual and the web to guide my repair. I'm not sure if I can post a link to the site I used, but google search: "2000 my obw in car head gasket replacement". I got some great tips from there. Timing is easy (on the SOHC engine), just line up the 3 notches (not the arrows). The notches are not at top dead center, they are at middle center. This confused me at first but that's the way it is. I was able to do it with out removing the engine, but it was hard to get the heads in position with out messing up the new gasket. I used rubber bands to hold the bolts and had someone put the gasket in after I lined it up. I had to hit the drivers side fender with a hammer to put a small dent to allow for the #4 bolt to have enough clearance. You can't see the dent with everything back in the engine. Good luck!

The head gasket set is 3 metal layers. Seems very strong and upgraded compared to the stock single metal. 2000 miles so far and no problems. Lets see what 65,000 mile will do. 2001 Subaru Impreza RS have a very bad head gasket problem. Hopefully with a good head machine I should get 120,000 on this set. Few parts in the set are not needed for this year but maybe yours. Great value for the price. Will buy again, only time will tell?Did not buy new head bolts. All Subaru pros say no need.

Really high-quality parts. Nice MLS head gaskets that are so much more robust than the leaky originals. Caution: if you have leaky head gaskets, and you're not having your heads resurfaced, don't hold the gaskets responsible for future leaks. However, if you are an informed, risk-taker, and insist on not resurfacing your heads, these gaskets really seem like they'd make a really good attempt and not leaking anyway. I called Fel-Pro to get a list of everything included, because there is a lot and you can't easily tell what some of it is. I uploaded a snapshot of the list of contents from the HS 26170 PT-1 Head Gasket Set

This kit has everything you need to do the head gaskets, and then some. Great set. My mechanic recommended fel-pro, so I went with them instead of a pricier six star set. I am very happy with the results. All gaskets sealed well and it was nice having a few more gaskets than needed. I'm sure the extras are for slightly different applications than my own.

Works, installed no problem into 2005 Impreza. Re did head, valve head cover, spark plug tube, intake manifold, exhaust manifold plus a few more. All gaskets felt like good quality.

Me gustó la calidad, pero por el precio no incluye retén del cigueñal ni delantero ni tracero, ni algunas toricas

Gaskets are much better than the OEM ones, the head gaskets are multilayers, and should seal much better. I got this for my 2007 Forester, but with the valve cover gasket included appears to be for an 05 (5 bolt cover) where my 07 has a 6 bolt cover, but I still made it work. Took me amd my dad about 13 hours to pull the motor, disassemble the heads, and reassemble and drop the motor back in.

The gaskets and seals that come in this kit are of good quality, and the price is reasonable, BUT, I am disappointed in the packaging! Came in a cardboard box that was damaged in shipping. Lots of loose o rings and seals that may or may not all be there? I have not installed this kit yet so I am not sure if anything is missing, and of course, there is not a parts list included.

Arrived on time and was intact. My only concern with the product is the "not returnable once opened". I was leery in case something was missing out of the package but all was good
