Ordered a new engine from All Drive Subaroo, was very tempting to go all out with their cosworth forged package but the reality is my pockets aren't deep enough and I'm not chasing that power which seems to bring headaches with it as well.
Reconditioned EJ25T Standard Engine includes:
Machined Subaru EJ20/25 Engine case
Machined Subaru EJ20/25 turbo Crankshaft
New Subaru Connecting Rods
Improved /Revised Pistons and rings
Standard ACL bearings
Subaru Head Gaskets
New Subaru Oil pump
Subaru Engine Oil Sump
Checked , pressure test cylinder heads
New Genuine timing belt kit
New Genuine water pump
Every Subaru Long Dressed Engine is assembled using Genuine Subaru Seals, O-rings and sealing compounds.
Michael is handing the install and back to Scott for a re-tune. I mainly chose the All Drive Subaroo option as it comes with 12month warranty or 25,000 KMs and they address the issues with these engines with the revised head gasket and ACL bearings.
