Didn't icingdeath have one from his wrecked car? He's in FL and probably a good bet for you rather than having to pay freight costs.

Re: Need Engine !!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure he sold it already. I don't understand how an engine that is NOT BOOSTED can get blown ring lands. All I know is I really need an engine and I really don't care how I get it at this point.

My silver has a blown ring land on cyl #5 I'm pretty sure and has nasty piston slap. It's survived since I bought it, and being revved the f#$% out with a bad transmission... Still starts up and has plenty of power. I'm sure eventually it will self destruct but I'll be pulling it sometime soon and swapping it.

Re: Need Engine !!!!!!!!!!

I always run 93 or better, And holy **** that motor is expensive. I have been running 20-50 with Lucas and rislone compression sealant to prevent piston slap.

Subarus often have very tight oil clearances. Subaru let's them throuh the factory with only .0002". Thicker oils will fail to lubricated those passages properly.

Re: Need Engine !!!!!!!!!!

The problem that I have is that I'm getting gas in my oil and It's breaking down the oil very quickly. I have to Chang the oil once a month or the engine starts knocking very badly. That's why I use such thick oil, it lasts longer. If I run any lighter oil it starts knocking within two weeks of daily driving.
