Night Wolf : 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX

I'm sure you've read, but on the rear shifter stay, the bolt holes are not parallel to each other and are VERY easy to cross-thread. Take care when you put them in.

Why did you pull the motor? Nice dd , i like the color too.

thanks bro

I guessing , clutch work.

I soooooo fucking wish it was that. I took my crank for a walk one day.

yeah I found that out while putting them in. I had them in already by the time I posted the pic though.

How did that happen? If you don't mind me asking.

[Night Wolf]

Crank walked. Idk how. Probably from lack of oil though. Due to sluge.

These cars are supposed to be rally cars , but you do a google search and find things like this or the whole gear set crapping out. Very temperamental cars , seems like maintenance is key.
Are you just swapping another ej205 in or going with something else?

[Night Wolf]

so I found out what exactly when wrong. it wasnt the trust bearings or a crank walk it seems. although I was close to that, no it had the wrong sized bearings in it. they were too big. so the heated up and melted into the crank and connecting rod...

This bad boy swapped in yet?

This bad boy swapped in yet?

not yet lol. got the 3 hondas, and a house that are taking my spare time.

anyhow, I finally found me a set of STI heads for cheap. even has a 3 angle valve job with new valves, JDM STI cams to delete the AVCS, and valve covers. all for less than just regular OEM heads, (which sell for around $900).

just gotta port and polish them, then hot tank it before putting them on.
