s2baru Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Yes direct drop in. And complete long block, heads included. Let's leave dealership talk out of this. No one knows wtf my car is at this point when talking with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 is the 2010 an ej257/55 as well? Is there no other identification... makes it a pita looking on google, everything is wrx.... http://subierecycler.com/ http://y2kimports.com/catalogue/ heres another. Might be a bit pricey.. We have an EJ255 shortblock but the heads are specific to our cars because we have Dual AVCS and the oil scavenger pump that runs off of a cam for our front low mount turbo setup. And there were only roughly 2000 of our cars made in the US, so difficult to find complete engines.

Tehnation Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The person that built this motor doesn't give warranties? Thats a hell of a grocery list to last a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 I put approx 20xxx miles on this setup in about 5-7 months so that takes alot of the warranty out due to mileage even with not having it in the car less than a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Are you sure the heads can't be salvaged? He's already said that he wants a complete stock replacement motor, probably so he can keep everything from the beast of a motor he already has to rebuild it.

Tehnation Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 yea especially racing motors..... did you give them a call to see what they say? They might make a deal if they are honest, maybe eat the labor, you pay for parts, something like that. Whats average warranty for high performance engine? 10k 3 months seems about right... but if you pull it down and get it tested, they can hopefully find where the fault is. You don't seem like you beat on the car, makes me think its a build issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 You don't seem like you beat on the car, makes me think its a build issue! Or a result of the fact that he rearended another car last September, causing some damage to the motor or timing belt that eventually caused a catastrophic failure.

Tehnation Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 He's already said that he wants a complete stock replacement motor, probably so he can keep everything from the beast of a motor he already has to rebuild it. You lost me... complete motor is everything, intake manifold, turbo etc., if he wants to keep his parts he doesn't need a complete engine...... Longblock is the shortblock with heads bolted. If the heads are good why get a complete engine? I didn't read anywhere stating he actually pulled the engine apart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehnation Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Sounds like maybe the timing belt jumped and his valves might have smacked a piston. did you actually check the timing marks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Sounds like maybe the timing belt jumped and his valves might have smacked a piston. did you actually check the timing marks? That's what I said at the beginning of this thread. All he has to do is pull the timing cover and he should start getting some answers. But s2baru marches to his own drum and forges his own path. I highly doubt you threw a rod, spun a bearing or dropped a valve on startup. I would do as your friend suggested and pull the timing cover to have a look. It's possible that the belt was damaged from the accident and it just finally decided to shred itself inside the cover which could make quite a racket on that plastic cover. Hopefully it's still relatively intact and you didn't skip a tooth.

Tehnation Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Thats tooooooo nice of an engine to write it off like that. If the piston wall isn't gouged you can get it bored and drop in bigger pistons. It might not be as bad as you think. Compression is gone in one cylinder, so that leads me to think the valve pretty much shattered or bent. The heads are probably still good and only one head one need to be replaced/rebuilt, and worst case the shortblock. All these little things should be considered. I'd pull the engine before you get any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he started this thread in late 2013, he had a cracked ringland, ie Post #1, that was his original stock motor. Fast forward to 2014 and 2015, car spend a year in Portland getting the motor work specified in in his parts list a few posts up. He drove it around on the beast motor for most of the summer of 2015, all across the country. A few months ago....it blew up, or something. Got it?

s2baru Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Sounds like maybe the timing belt jumped and his valves might have smacked a piston. did you actually check the timing marks? Engine is still in the car. Timing very well could be messed up from my accident. We'll find out As GTEASER said though this is relatively easy. Take said built engine out, replace with OEM used/new motor to drop in. Build motor again. Then switcheroo back. Not hard. I have an agreement with my shop due to a partial sponsorship/shop vehicle HOWEVER it's 500 miles away. Cant discuss all the details on costs but I can say I get quite the discount. Tough part for me, which some of you members are lgt newbies and don't know the back story of my car but all in all my car technically has sat virtually 2years during it build and in and out of the shop.

Tehnation Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 And if the cylinder wall is borked, you can always sleeve it... I think fixing that motor is probably the cheapest answer.. not sure how much your machinist charges but replacing 4 valves(at most), sleeving the block and rebuilding seems cheaper than getting another longblock and starting over... you can actually go harder rather than go backwards.

Tehnation Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I guess what i'm missing is the 2 year rebuild time..... thats a might long time to rebuild an engine.... if thats the case then now it all makes sense. Personally I would take the money used for a new/used longblock and just dump it back into the block with a local shop that wont take a year to build or even ship it somewhere, but a year for a discount at the expense of purchasing another motor sorta negates the discount, especially if u have to pay to do things twice. Save urself the time and headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 know it alls....... He's fully aware of his options. He has stated that he's looking for a stock motor. He doesn't need help discussing things that have already been thoroughly vetted.

s2baru Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'm spinning my head too Joe. This isn't a very complicated fair tell. Young man falls in love with said "lady", lady gets sick so he helps her, nourishes her back to health. See goes out thinking she's miss independent and can rule the world. He agress but wants her to take it easy. She goes around and shows off only to get in a whirlwind and things thing spiral down hill. He doesn't like her anymore and tries to push her away but she comes back to life more beautiful than ever. He tries to part ways but can get rid of his admiration for her. He clings to her, she clings to him to life and she goes back to her old habits. His live for her is so strong that he begans to go on a rampage doing mischievous things behind her back, looks at other women even tests drives a few. But she still everyday is at home waiting for him....waiting for him to give her that passion she deserves and once knew. Does that make since? ...so let's carry on the novel alright and help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehnation Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 LOL!!!! ok i get it, so you need a ej255 dual avcs longblock! I'm rebuilding as well, so i was more so wanting to understand your thinking and logic. I just wanted to make sure you were taking good care of that beautiful lady! Any budget?

s2baru Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 I don't expect a "full" build all over again. Just get it open then take it from there and decide if I want to change things. Then figure out the budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
