Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
great thread. I will be building one of these soon. This will be my first subie build, but not my first engine build. I have always coated my parts with STP oil treatment(small blue bottle). It is thick so it stays with the parts until its all done. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
LANs thread mentions cromely assembly lube? or something like that. I've pulled my fair share of engines out of cars and I've done one hybrid swap, but this is my first time breaking a motor open and rebuilding it. Most I've done before this was a timing belt swap, so heaven help me haha.

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
I like the Sealed Power assembly lube for all bearings and valvetrain parts, and Brad Penn 30-wt break-in oil (very high ZDDP) for the sump.

I'm new to this, you'd also use the break in oil on the pistons whle installing things like that, right? |

And no need to 'dip' the piston in oil like they used to do in the old days, just lightly coat the cylinders, the skirts, and the face of the rings before installation. |

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
Nothing much going on, huge thanks to Cruisen_15 for getting me the correct trust bearing. I now have everything I need to put together my built short block, just waiting on my friend to come give me a hand with it cause I don't trust myself and he happens to have a tube of official Subaru block sealer.
I bought some headbolts but they weren't up to snuff, I may try and call ARP again this week and see what they can do for me. If they don't have the correct studs I'm just going to use OEM headbolts with Cometic gaskets. Just something I'm doing to kill time, I'm hand sanding the valve covers and intake... the intake is taking quite a bit of time. Heres what I got so far. When all is said and done I think I'm going to do the valve covers in wrinkle blue, the intake will be chrome power coat. |

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
Can you say a little more about the headbolts you bought not "being up to snuff". I take it these were the ones you got from headbolts.com?

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
Yea, mostly going off your advice. I another friend of mine told me that anything above grade 8 usually is not bound to any real set restrictions and China's 11.9 and Brazils 11.9 could be completely different, so I figured why risk it. Either go with the ARP which the world seems to know beyond a shadow of a doubt are better, or go with OEM which are made with quality and a factory warranty in mind.

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
ARP studs ship out tomorrow. They were a good bit cheaper than I was expecting so I hope they got everything right..
Advice to future buyers, they are going to tell you that the 6.750 studs do not exist. He had to call another shop of theirs that does custom work or something like that before he found it, it wasn't in their system at all though. |

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
Sounds good! Can you post up the ARP stock #s and quantities when the studs show up at your place (or now, if you already have them ).
Thanks. -Bill

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
He told me they won't ship out until tomorrow because where ever they currently are that isn't in their system, they have to be sent from there to their store and then all sent out together.
I have the numbers I asked for right here, I borrowed them all from the ARP thread on this very forum so I take no credit for it... Like wise I take no blame if it turns out they do not work as I've recently had that happen to me haha. Qty of 8 - ATP7.700-2LUGB Qty of 8 - ATP6.750-2LUGB Qty of 16 - APN12,12 PT NUT Qty of 16 - APW995N, WASHER If I guess I'll find out first hand if they work or not. Per LAN and OT, the front four still need to have 1/8" removed to clear our cam gears. How you go about doing that I don't know. |

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
I don't remember, this was not a very informative phone call haha. It was either 274 or 284 bucks, SVXFiles told me it would be 320 dollars so I was surprised. He told me that before asking if I wanted it UPS ground so I'm figuring the shipping is not included in that. I wrote down the order confirmation number but I haven't found anything on their website that lets me enter that to check on my order. They didn't ask for my e-mail so I guess I won't know for sure til I get them at my door.
