[Spridgets] non LBC Subaru Outback Info

Rich,

Head gasket problems with certain Subaru years are a known problem and
can be an expensive fix if you don't do it yourself.  26 pages of Subie HG

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
