MrTris Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I like the Subaru Mike shortblock assembly video. I do, too, but, probably for a different reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was smooth as buddah for the 106 miles I ran it... Time will tell. Working on the cubby pod, need to make the other cut out and decide if I like it raw aluminum or if I should paint it black. http://i.imgur.com/B6jIUAk.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeylord Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Not enough room for the usual mount on the right gauge, so I did this http://i.imgur.com/N4ioaQz.jpg Slightly better pic, re-angled the gauges http://i.imgur.com/41fDleI.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeylord Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Perfect, that's exactly what I was going for. I did put it in the car temporarily, angle is perfection by pure luck. I have an email in to AEM to get another black bezel. Wish the gauge faces matched a little better, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How? I wouldn't want to move it any way other than on a hoist -- There's nowhere to lift without placing undue pressure on the freshly-bolted-down heads.

Moderators BarManBean Posted November 25, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2014 Pick it up from the shortblock--that's pretty much what supports the whole shebang when it's in the car, yes? I just don't think it's a big deal to move a motor around. Pack it up and ship it and they're fine, bolt it in a car and drive around and it's fine, why would a gentle trip up the stairs cause issue?

If lifting from the heads causes future engine issues, you were going to have issues to start with anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to man up and carry the b*tch out of there. But seriously, the shortblock is no problem. Haven't decided if I'll install the heads in the basement, but even if I did I don't see an issue getting it out. #justmanlythings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
