It can take anywhere from 4-10 hrs. now if your head gasket is warped you will have to take it to have it milled that takes from 1 day to several days. if not you can just buy a completely new one that fits perfectly for about $150.

Head gasket issues are not uncommon for Subaru engines.Will it happen again, maybe... Upvote (2). Upvote (2). COMMENT by Visitor on November 30, 2010. Thank you.I appreciate your honest answer.he dealer showed me that I have oil leaking from Head gasket. There is oil accumulated on parts under the car, but I have never seen any oil on the ground where I park. The dealer said I need to replace the Head gasket for $1,500.
