Hello,

Here is my current Subaru, a Pearl White 3L H6 with just over 150 000km's on the clock. I started with a MY06 2L Impreza then a MY08 2.5L WRX then a MY03 2L Liberty.





Mods so far,
- 1x infant seat
- Echelon CS-1 glass coating (3 yr paint protection)
- HID upgrade (5000k)
- Double din stereo with reverse camera, amp and sub.
- K/N panel air filter (got it for half price)
- Kido flex fuel tune plus upgraded fuel pump
- Raptor headers with factory cats (3rd cat removed) followed by X-force system (resonator, y pipe & mufflers)
- Shifter bushes upgraded (pivot, uni-joint, front stay)
- Group N pitch mount plus trans mount, with trans cross-member, Whiteline rear diff insert bushes and rear diff support outrigger replaced with nolathane bushes.

A minor weep at the head has presented it self on the driver side at first service since purchase (wasn't there during inspection), so i decided to go buy an engine and rebuild it myself.

Picked this up little while ago for $300, with accessories and manifold. Came out of an Outback which done around 130000km's and was burning oil and blowing some smoke under hard acceleration apparently. I'll strip it down and see what I find.

The crank bolt was so tight I had to use a 1" heavy duty rattle gun to remove.

And I found this ball bearing in the sump but I'm little unsure where it came from, if anyone can help locate its home it would be appreciated.

Dont ask anything technical on this forum they are all too busy removing scratches fitting new grills and polishing there wheel nuts .

Interesting, I will be doing the same thing later in the year as my engine also consumes oil. Be interesting to see what you find.

Going to split the block for new bearings?

Yer decided I would as I've gone this far might as well do it right first time.

Been awhile since an update. Here's a few pic's from a while ago. Split block, pistons,rods & crank removed.

What is your next step?

I love DIY! Keen to see more

Full rebuild, bearings, rings, seals etc or maybe just make a table out of it.

Get a close deck insert made n then the rebuild will be much more worth it....then turbo and e85 for happy times
