I know you are glad to have your car back. Looking forward to pics of the awesomeness!

I really do not see the point in going from a VF52 to a VF48 unless your VF52 isn't working right. The timing belt I would NOT skimp...
37 days left....
Best post yet. That's what I've been trying to state. His failure is no ones fault....if the most indicating culprit (RTV) was the real...
Nice car man....I've always like them. How well does the 6MT hold up to power?
I'm interested to see if the pistons are any better than the EJ25 counterparts. Really hope that the direct injection helps keep detonation at bay.
Had an 05 crank in my build with many miles on it now and it never had any issues. Stick to the 'keep it simple' principle.
There is nothing wrong with Subaru's design. Nothing will or can account for a piece of RTV blocking oil flow 'if' that is truly the culprit.

Thats a very interesting article. Wonder which would win the reliability/longevity test?

Looking good man.
Can't wait to see the pics. Bet it'll look great. My favorite car with those flares. [img]
It's the piston. Forged pistons have to be run loose as they expand a lot when heated up. So loose piston during cold starts equals a piston...
Where that baby gonna ride? CTS-V FTW.
why start a third thread? It's all the same topic pretty much just more mods.
Loose tolerances just beat up the cylinder walls. Harder piston material just don't last long term. Koko had one of the longest lasting forged...
Now that I didn't see and more comes to light. Sad......
There is absolutely no way a forged piston engine is going to last you another 200k miles. You want 200k miles and 300-400 hp then a new EJ 205...
