    A friend of mine owns a shop and had to replace the ENTIRE coolant system on a customers vehicle recently. Wanna see what it looked like after they ran stop leak through it?

    pretty common for the early second gens to have headgasket issues. 05-early 06 i believe till they revised the headgasket.

    Yup. Years of owning my used Subi. Had to replace the radiator, water pump, and then....whenI had to replace the failed headgaskets. This was during the process of chiseling out what I could reach...

    That is on the V6.
    The OP has a 2.7 liter 4 banger, I haven't heard of any issues with the head gasket on those.

    I would still have a block test done before conclusions are jumped to. At least for the piece of mind.
