I hate when people ask goofy questions, yes those are your head gaskets but you don’t need them, throw them in the ocean, I think turtles love playing with them.

Stop driving it immediately. Get it towed into the dealership. Make sure to take those head gaskets as well. Hand them to the mechanic and tell him you’ll pay double the rate if he can save your car. Don’t take no for an answer.

No. Head gaskets come in a tube. You need a head gasket gun to install them.

No, you come in a tube after the gaskets give you head, Mr. Obviously Not ASE.

The 1st gen legacy didn't have head gaskets. '95+ Subaru started adding head gaskets to all its cars and is generally considered the largest automotive fumble in history due to the problems head gaskets cause

They’re probably more reliable… but the flat 16 is a pretty rare engine for that car. I’ll take it off your hands for a McChicken and large Fanta

Hamster harnesses from under the hood.

Hamsters have escaped and now your car is just a broken down hamster cage.

Only thing left is to sell it for parts. Sorry for your loss.
