lmdew Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 He had it checked by the local Subaru Dealer and they said it needs a short block? Well loved Impreza for sale, needs new short block (timing belt went out). Has brand new Blizzaks (less than 3 weeks old), brakes / rotors done 2 months ago. Car is in great shape except for the necessary engine swap. Great project for someone with the know how. https://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/d/colorado-springs-06-subaru-impreza/7053573916.html I'd think bent valves but a block? I don't know the newer ones like the old 90's so I thought I'd ask. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 maybe threw a rod, that led to the belt being thrown??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 That would do it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 It's possible for a valve strike to crack a piston or break the valve off which will destroy the cylinder. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD yep, destroyed cyl 2 on my '78 Honda Civic - valve broke , destroyed piston top, pitted the cyl wall. I honed the cylinder, installed new piston - I drove it for a while - used a little oil. Eventually donated to Goodwill, still running. Edited January 11, 2020 by 1 Lucky Texan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Yep, I'm passing. Not worth $2000 for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
