Subaru Leone RX turbo 1985 4WD/2WD select Popped compression ring Pressuring crank case Mint black interior Heavy duty clutch, 2 1/2 inch exhaust Done approx 10,000km on reconditioned turbo, and 6000km on rebuilt motor. Good for 175 km/h in 3rd gear!! Photos to come. Any clues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Pressure in the crankcase is normal - the PCV system is designed to take care of it. I would check that first. If the diagnosis in the add is correct (not likely unless it's been subjected to high boost), then it's going to need an engine rebuild at the very least.
