EJ251 heads from 2004 Forester X
 

[b]EDIT: Heads only now, block is sold![/b]

In March 2018 of of the radiator fans on my Forester got jammed with debris and my engine overheated in the red for 2-3min minutes before I could shut it down. Over the next few months the car began to overheat more and more often till eventually I used a combustion leak tester which indicated the hg's were blown. Fyi, I just had the hg's, [url=http://i.viglink.com/?key=c59c28ee053b9c20874b223ea8f1cb26&insertId=de0344365b7f167a&type=L&exp=60%3ACI1C55A%3A1&libId=jvv8oiyj01000b2g000DLbsd20uxo&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.i-club.com%2Fforums%2Fnorcal-classifieds-96%2Fej251-longblock-2004-forester-x-4eat-270933%2F&v=1&iid=de0344365b7f167a&opt=true&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%2Fref%3Dnb_sb_noss%3Furl%3Dsearch-alias%253Dautomotive%26field-keywords%3Dtiming%252Bbelt&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.i-club.com%2Fforums%2Fsearch.php%3Fsearchid%3D4798404&title=EJ251%20longblock%20from%202004%20Forester%20X%204EAT%20-%20i-Club&txt=%3Cspan%3Etiming%20%3C%2Fspan%3E%3Cspan%3Ebelt%3C%2Fspan%3E]timing belt[/url] kit, water pump, thermostat all done back in September 2016 (by a dealership master tech). Even while it had the intermittent overheating it still ran extremely well and I did not notice any loss in power or torque / responsiveness.

Before the car overheated last year it ran flawlessly and never got hot even in traffic at 105 degrees. As of now I am running another EJ251 from a 2003 Legacy.

Anyways, I already sold the block just need to have someone get the heads

Heads are @ ~35k, so still very new

Compression #'s before teardown

Cyl 1 = 210psi
Cyl 2 = 212psi
Cyl 3 = 212psi
Cyl 4 = 210psi

$300 Picked up in the Bay Area

Should be able to just get the heads decked and put on with new gaskets and keep going.

PM if interested, thanks!
