Compact and distinctive, the boxer engine is a car-enthusiast favorite. Today, you can find them in four-and six-cylinder form in all Subaru models—plus the Toyota 86—and the Porsche and But while a lot of car enthusiasts have heard the term "boxer engine" before, they might not know exactly what it means. Or that not all flat engines are actually boxers. Really though, there's not much to know.
Basically, each piston in a boxer engine gets its own crank pin, so the pistons opposite each other move together. The fact that these pistons move together, like a Boxer's gloves, is what gives this engine type it's name. It's what you'll find under the hood of every Subaru, and what makes every Subaru so special.
Unlike other engine designs, the Subaru BOXER engine features pistons that move in opposition to each other due to it's unique horizontal layout. It's a proven design with benefits every driver can feel.
Naturally balanced, the Subaru BOXER engine produces less vibration than other engine designs, resulting in quieter operation and a more comfortable, enjoyable driver experience. This allows it to be placed lower in the chassis, giving every Subaru a low center of gravity. This results in balanced, predictable handling, which not only gives you more control behind the wheel, it also helps make driving more fun. Safer too. Whether engineered for performance, efficiency, or your next adventure, the Subaru BOXER engine is yet another reason more and more people are getting into Subaru vehicles than ever before.
We invite you to visit Goldstein Subaru today, experience the Subaru BOXER engine, and make a great deal to take one home - surrounded by the chassis of your favorite Subaru vehicle, of course.

Check out this video and ask yourself if you can or want? I consider myself a "gear head", and this makes me cringe. Good luck! Rcpmac wrote on August 18, - pm Permalink.
Oh really. I bought a with miles. Owner took good care of it and it had head gasket and water pump replaced. Im confident it will only require regular maintenance for a long while and if something unexpected fails? So what. Great condition. Larry wrote on September 24, - am Permalink.
I have a mechanic friend ,Master Nissan mechanic, went through all their training when working for Nissan dealerships. Became a consultant to Nissan service departments Nationwide ,taking calls about mechanical issues dealerships were having trouble solving.
He works in an independent shop now, regularly fixes head gaskets on Subarus, and he says Subaru heads HAVE to be dead flat and true or a new head gasket will fail prematurely.
Most Subaru heads need to be sent off to the machine shop and milled true. My mechanic friend says even if they're more than a thousand out of true you're taking a chance at that gasket will fail.
So that's a lot of more expense right there to do these right. Jams hammond wrote on October 25, - am Permalink.
You are right. I do all my own work and I'm not mechanic. Also you don't have to remove the motor to change the valve cover gasket. Just lift the motor move to the opposite side do the job.

As much as I love them, I'm done with Subarus when I get rid of this one.

At the beginning of the article they say that generally the through models are affected by the head gasket issue The next paragraph says it is due to faulty material used in the head gasket and they attempted to fix it in So let me get this straight.
They attempted to fix it 2 years before it was an issue? Eric A Gross wrote on June 9, - pm Permalink. Subaru attempted to correct the issue in with an updated gasket.

William Davis wrote on February 20, - pm Permalink. This happened because of General Motors when they bought into Subaru. They redesigned the head and gasket. They did this at Opel, Isuzu and quite a few other car companies they invested in. It ultimately led to a majority of companies going out of business.
SAAB and Opel being prime examples great companies and cars killed by a greedy giant. Paul Rapalus wrote on February 25, - am Permalink. My wife's Forester has almost 60, miles on it.
