Did they improve over time! I know earlier ones had head gasket issues but were these resolved by the 98 facelift versions! Or did nothing mechanically change at all!

They are good till the bottom end decides to go.

There were slight improvementsthey changed from the composate head gasket to steel that was the EJ25D modelThe EJ251 was 99 I think that had exsternal head gasket leaking issuesyou could buy some additive from Subaru to try to cure it . I ve owened 3 EJ25 subsThe later one I had which was 98 gave no issues , I sold it at 190k still going well I did both my earlier EJ25 legacyhead gaskets.
I proberbly would never buy another EJ25 powered subIve done a few head gasket replacments for my self and friends etc and just can't be bothered unless it was a real good tidy buy.
Il stick to my EJ20's
