Subarian Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Who's got a good line on parts like pistons, oil pump, rings, gaskets, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 for what an EA82? i recently priced some of this stuff for the EA82: check out www.1stsubaruparts.com and also Jamie (from the usmb here), she's a Subaru OEM dealer and has great prices too, forget her website though. typing in "EA82 rebuild" or something like that in Yahoo! gave some company out west that supplies "re-ring" kits that seemed okay in price, but i'm not going to buy from them so i didn't write down the info. www.thepartsbin.com main bearings $29, rod bearings $35, piston rings $105, gasket set $100 in an old thread i read this morning they mentioned that some of the partsbin parts were OEM, but i don't recall if it was the bearings or rings. www.rockauto.com main bearings $32, rod bearings $23, piston rings $47, gasket set $222 www.ramperformance.com i'm going to go with these guys. i've met them and seen their work, great guys and they know subaru's. mains and rods run about $38 a set from them, not sure what kind of deal they'd give for the entire set (rings, bearings, etc) but they do sell kits. pretty competitive and really nice guys...and they use all their parts in airplanes, so i'm not too worried about quality. be careful with rock auto, i've seen a number of incorrect parts listings there but i don't have enough experience with engine internals to tell if there are inconsistencies with those. also be advised, the turbo motors have different bearings (i think rod...but maybe it was main bearings). i read about it on this site, but left the links at work so you'll have to do a search. i think i typed "engine rebuild" or something like that on my search this morning. the turbo bearings are slightly wider and could be used for NA applications as well, i'll look into this more when i get closer to doing my full rebuild. hope this helps, sorry to be so long winded but looking into the same thing and thought some of this may help.

idosubaru Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 okay i found the kit "out west" i was talking about: http://www.rpmrons.com/Subarukits1.html $280 for complete kit - rings, bearings, gasket set. not my choice but i put the info out there and let you decide what you want. some companies actually have OEM suppliers of parts, so while the box of bearings may say "Federal Mogul" (that's a random example, i don't recall the exact brand), the parts inside the box were actually ADC or whatever the OEM supplier was for the bearings. i recall someone in an earlier thread buying bearings and noticing the same name on the old bearings and the new ones out of the box with some other brand name on it. (which made me wonder, how can you see letters on old bearings, but i guess i'll find out when i take mine apart!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 Thanks. I'm actually looking both for an EA82 and an EA82T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 cool, the block parts are all interchangeable (rings and bearings) between EA82 and EA82T. like i said, the turbo bearings are wider which i determined from some old threads. either will work but it was said the wider ones would be better, which is why they were in the turbo's. good luck, gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
