Re: Engine Bearing Failure

Thanks Tony,

Having now lost two big ends, one definitely heat related, and one of unknown, we are keen to chase some improved options now that we are pushing the motors more than Subaru intended.

It would also be helpful if the experienced folk offered some roadmaps for bottom ends. I know some generic stuff, but SVX specific (if you've got anything) would help.

Like...NA - 7000 rpm = do nothing
NA - 8000 rpm = light weight rods and good cast pistons
NA - 9000 rpm = etc etc etc

Anybody know the weight of the stock piston and rods?
