Subaru Vivio, Sambar Cylinder Head Gasket

When we talk about Subaru engine, normally we think that they are famous in the boxer type of engine, from EA series to EJ series and now the FA20 and FB20 type of boxer engine.

In Malaysia, the Subaru E10 van is the non boxer type of engine with inline 3 cylinder type of engine, and for 4 cylinder type, which come under EN07 or EN07C engine, is rarely seen in Malaysia market, the mini car of Subaru Vivio and mini truck of Subaru Sambar, may be have a better chance to find it in Singapore.
