Head Gaskets - Recommendations
Hi everyone,
One or both of the head gaskets have gone in my WRX STI v3
Can anyone please recommend any reputable engine builders in the London/South East region?
Also, can anyone advise the typical lifetime of the standard clutch? I'm thinking about getting a new one since the engine will be coming out. It isn't slipping, but the bite point is very high and as far as I know its self adjusting, so is on its way out. I think its still on the original clutch (72k miles), but I don't understand the Japanese service history.
Cheers

If the engine is being pulled for the head gaskets, its best to make a decision on the clutch condition then and if it needs changing.
