Rebuild Shopping List - EJ251 + EJ222 (Phase 2) Heads


Recommended Posts

Ok, so I went to try and diagnose the problem today and either way it went, the car won't even start now (cranks and occasionally tries, but won't start).  So I'm at the point of just ordering the parts and putting an EJ251 lower end in it w/ the EJ22 Phase 2 Heads.  

 

I've done a ton of research and I have a line on 2 different blocks (one has a spun bearing though, so may need crank work).  That part is handled.

 

Now onto the next part, which is shopping.  Here is what I am looking at:

 

ACL Bearing set .001 over

STI Turbo 2.5L Head Gaskets (OEM):

Full Gasket Set (Evergreen as I've had good luck with them except head gaskets):

yes it's for an 04, but 98% of those gaskets also match the Phase 2 EJ222 including valve stem seals, valve covers, spark plug grommett gaskets, etc... and that was matching them via parts.subaru.com to other vehicles.  Other option for gaskets would be ITM or skipping the STI gaskets and using an Ishino gasket set (but I don't believe there gaskets will be updated).

 

and finally:

Yep, threebond 1215. :)

 

Am I forgetting anything?  Other than maybe replacing the heater hoses/radiator hoses and I'm thinking about that just budget as well.
