    I'm in Monmouth. Depending on what your looking to add I can probably help you or at least point you in the right direction.

    So... how long ago were the head gaskets replaced? Repairs by Subaru outside of the basic or extended warranties are one year, unlimited miles.

    Exhaust gas detector. Similar concept to a litmus test, but it's a blue liquid that changes color when combustion gasses are present. You remove the rad cap, put the tool in place of the cap, then squeeze the bulb while the engine is running.

    link isn’t working for me, but I imagine it’s the only one in MA and the same one as the pic Eric posted V

    yea I have been searching auto trader, auto tempest, and like 10 other sites. Ironically they all have the same ones. Sometimes there’s 1 random one not listed on others.

    I don’t recognize that one in Watertown.

    where in Monmouth county? I’m in Oakhurst and could show you what to do.

    Head gaskets were done about 2 years ago.

    you're about 10 years too new, If I were shopping I’d be looking at this!
    https://easternshore.craigslist.org/cto/d/ocean-city-1997-toyota-landcruiser/7038417753.html

    a 4bt is hard to beat in reliability, and paid with a Toyota drivetrain with solid axles and you’re set.

    Is that the ECGS tool or a generic one? And I'm not sure a generic one exists to get from a parts store. I might be wrong but I thought ecgs made the tool. Or is it a readily available tool they sell or include with their bushing? If you want the ecgs one specifically there are a couple members lending them out in buy/sell/trade. found it - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/whoring-out-ecgs-bushing-tool.630638/

    that would be a sweet rig. Not quite the snowboard trip highway cruiser I’m looking for though lol

    I’ve only ever heard of the ecgs or home made pullers, never a auto store rental option.

    I remember Spencer describing Metric's 'head gasket season', when morning and afternoon temps had the most significant delta.
    Closed deck in the 2.2L's right?
