[Spridgets] non LBC Subaru Outback Info

["Richard Ball" <rich_ball@mindspring.com>]

Well since the list is too quite for some I'll ask a question.

My son and his wife always get a fairly large tax refund and this year they 
have decided to be smart about things and look into buying a good (for them) 
family car.  Out here in the wilds of the Great Northwest you can't swing a 
dead cat by the tail without hitting a Subaru Outback so they are looking at 
those or alternatively some sort of minivan.  They probably can afford an 
Outback in the 1995 to 1997 range, but are noticing that many of those are 
listing that the timing belt, water pump, and head gasket have been changed. 
I can understand the timing belt and water pump, but is the head gasket a 
maintenance item on these or a design problem.  If it is a problem how much 
time dose replacing it buy you?

Thanks
