Dealer says no new short blocks avalibble in canada only in the usa and are different blocks and dont interchange. So my short block is 2000 $ so i'm happy with my price.But a'm concerned about why is sutch a difference between usa and canada what happened to FREE TRADE lol

ivans imports replied to uniberp's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi like my rebiulds all have knurlled pistons 0 slap ever fresh surfaces only subaru oem seals and gaskets and all the stuff that subaru missed is tight and proper no loose oil pump screws or plastic seperator plates or loose pistons. A subaru factory short block dreams about being thiss good with all there wornout engine tooling and loose bolts from the factory a new short block is not a way i would go. I have definatly seen my share of engine defects on subarus engines. At least if i find a problem i can fix it or replace it the robot just lets it go down the line. There is alot to be said for human quality control !

chemical treatment for heater core
i start with the ps side plugs for heater fan ac temp control ect lower bolt on ps side then top bolt ps and ds side do not remove the center middle bolt. Then drop the ecu and realys unplug the ds conectors only the ones that conect the dash to wire harness. And the vent control then drop columm down undo the vacume heater control main plug. Then the bolt on lower ds dash and the speedo from cluster. Have a assistaint hold the ps side of dash while you pull the last bolt center midle of dash then one person on each side gentaly pull dash away from car. Slowly to check for anything that may have been missed. Once the dash is out two bolts and two lines and the box comes right out. I can do it with my eyes closed is not that hard. The reinstall is exactly opposet. The most important part is nothing comes off the dash is removed in one peice.

Frankenmotor question. Searched.
the 2.5 twinn cam interfers in two ways the valves hitt the pistons and they HIT EACH OTHER the intake valve hitts the exhaust valve when out of time. Have built many 2.2 twinn cam engines work very good but had to use the turbo 2.2 headgasket slightly modifyed. I like to use the 2.2 crank in the 2.5 block gives you a 2.35 destroker motor about 8.0-1 then turbo it cheap turbo engine with bulletproof bottom end.
