if its an rb20 i have a brand new oem HG for sale

[magular]

well it sure is an rb20. anyways ill just get the tuner shop to take a quick look at it to make sure before i buy anything, but how much for HG

[DarkCaporaL]

Speaking from experience that sounds 100% like a blown HG. Had that happen on my previous car.

Easy fix.

If your mechanically inclined enough, grab a cylinder leak tester and pop the rad cap. You more than likely will be able to see bubbles coming from the coolant if its a head gasket failure to your water jackets.

RB20's seem to blow head gaskets alot i would look at getting a RB25DET or a RB26DETT to replace and make sure u clean flush and pressure check your radiator change your thermostate and while ya there cam belt idler tensioner bearings cam seals water pump

same situation as my old sti. its the head.

The more reason for everyone on here who hasn't done it to flush their coolant system and replace their thermostats.
Overheating is the #1 cause for headgasket failure.
Plus the crap they put in there in Japan is disgusting.
