So much faster to pull the motor and rip the heads off than working hunched over the fender.
So much of the motor can be put back together outside of the car it's kinda funny.
You'll get better at it. I always wondered why there was no talk of adjusting valve gaps. Figured it out we blow them up before needing a rebuild.
Get the head studs, seriously. For a street car there is no need for the big ones... The torque procedure is soooo much better.
Mine are on their second build. No stretch....
Heads are B or D? Either way will work. Just curious.
For real get a custom tune. Just kinda bummed Cobb has gone this green route and we can't delete monitors any more.
Work with a reputable Subaru shop that knows the HW.
My first rebuild made so many mistakes.
Mostly trusting the wrong people.
Have been really happy with this last rebuild.
M45 rebuilt the short block, Wiseco 100mm pistons, new crank and they donated some rods. This is the last bore on this block.
Heads +1 valves, had the new valve guides in hand already from Infamous Performance. Had to buy new castings during the first rebuild, since one shop hosed my original heads. Had him add the valve guides for just in case in the future. So glad I did.
Mike from Infamous hooked me up.
Bummed he had to get out of Cali. But we understand.
