I had problems before with assembly...

Well, i had a ej22 that was already put together. It has .020 pistons in it. What would i need to do to use this? Ill have to read up on backwards frankenmotors

Dam.... So i thought this short block was put together, but i was wrong... All the parts are here, everything has been machined. Just needs to be all put together... This has become a lot bigger of a project then i was hoping for...

Is that oem subaru part in this screen shot?

I found a glass coffee table on Facebook

Ok, im going to pick up this other short block that was put together by a Machinist. Ill look at the oil pump when i get back and see what numbers are on it. I have tried to put a split short block together before and i was unable to move the crank, so i took it back to the machine shop and i had them do it. The blocks been sitting ever since ( about 3 years) in Saran Wrap and now im going to use it finally.

Well, i have a short block that i would have to go pick up. Its over a 3 hour drive, but its rebuild, machined and it doesn't have a home car anymore. I just didn't want to use it in this car if i didn't have to. The mileage is pretty high for a completely fresh motor. So i guess this car will go to my girlfriend until shes done with it then ill pull it out for something else. If anyone has bought the subaru brand head gaskets from rock auto, please chime in and let me know if they are actually subaru brand head gaskets. The oil pump is off already, what do i check to tell its size? GD, i picked up a glass table top, and im going to try my luck and follow your dyi writte up on home resurfacing heads. 100% there is play on that one bearing. Even if its small. It is there. If i turn the crank by hand you can hear it a little.

I think going oem with the 770 part number is the way to go. After reading the post of GD claiming that he never had a headgasket fail after doing one. But now im at a cross road. What do i do about this "play" on the connecting rod. It's super minoot. I almost wasnt sure if it was even moving, but it does. Suggestions???

If i ordered from rock auto and use Part number 11044AA770 Would those be ok to use? Or would i have to get subaru oem and use that part number?

What an awesome idea! Resurfacing your own heads at home! @GeneralDisorder never cease to surprise me, even on posts that i just read and am not involved in. So 770/642 is a part number for the turbo model around the same year, huh? I feel like ive seen that before years ago. A new development, as im getting fully into this motor, i notice the, i believe #4 piston (back transmission side, passenger side) has a little play. I took the oil pan, baffles, pickup tube off and there is just ever so little play on the connecting rod to the crank on that rod. Even though before i pulled the motor it ran great, no knock, and i didnt let it get hot when the HG went out. The motor has an unknown amount of miles on it. The car has about 314k if memory serves me correctly. Ideas on where to go from here?

What are the proper head gasket replacements for these cars? I have mix feelings about oem since those were problematic out the factory originally. Whoever did the head gasket before i had the car used fel-pro. Which it failed... The layers seemed to have separated. And there is some pitting on the head surface. Compression in the water was my symptoms.

@idosubaru, thank you for the link. That pretty much answers my questions.

After looking and removing my seats, they might have air bags in them. the driver seat has electric motors to move it forward and back. I have a yellow plug on it too. The car is a 00 outback limited with all the bells and whistles. But the airbags isn't what im asking really, more like a side note. Im wondering what i can bolt right into this car. What i should be looking for. What year range. I have an older (02) wrx and i like those seats. But most of the yards around me have like 2012-2017 wrx in there yards. Almost all are smashed in the front or back. So im wondering if i could bolt those in or is there a change in the seats bolt pattern at a certain year, model or trim level? Also whats peoples opinion on their favorite seats?

Im in CA. When did they subaru start putting airbags inside the seats?

I looked for a post about this already but it was pretty old. Like 06 or something... Anyways i was wondering what the cutoff years for the seats to be bolt in swaps i know that at least 91 to 07 ej should swap no problem but what about newer? I looking to swap a wrx or sti seats front and back into a 2000 outback wagon. The junk yards around me have alot of 2015s and around those years

Yea.... After i opening the rom file, i noticed that i didnt log the right channels, i havent changed anything yet. And i haven't been able to find a base map either, the romraider forum seemed lacking in recent replys. And id rather learn this stuff then spend $300 on a map, that i have to adjust anyways

Ive been doing some research trying to figure out the right way to tune this car. Ive got the open source cable to plug in the laptop. Did a log on romraider with fueling final base, rpm, and throttle opening angle. Now that i have that how do i calculate my AFR adjustments? Mods, 3' turbo back catless downpipe Short ram3" k&n cone intake Top mount intercooler (not sure if thats a mod or stock) I believe every thing else is stock. Not 100% sure what front 02 sensor is there, either wideband or narrow Also i have CEL p0171 engine too lean This is my favorite forum and that's why i posted on here 1st before going elsewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

How long have you been working on this project? Start date?

Holy s**t batman! Good job, i have an 86 brat and i dream about this build most nights. I dont have a wrx donor. But i do have a 99 OB, or a 92 leg that could be a donor. You think that would be a start?

Ok, i did the procedure for p0032. (B136) number 6 and 17 read 2.7v it asks to shake harness and plugs, does it read more the 8v? No. Then says "end" so im at a lose.

So with those codes p0032, what would be the way to test wires to it vs the sensor itself? Is the a resistance to test for on the sensor? If so whats the "good" range? The wires supposed to have 12v on one or something?

Thank you everyone for quick and helpful responses

P0032 p0032 pd Not sure what the small "pd" is on the scanner. But that's what it shows. The scanner i used is a Bosch PocketScan

But, is the sensor its self the same one?

With the ebay item, that makes me wonder what the difference between the front sensor and the back one?
