BlaiddDrwg Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 It seems my 289k engine is giving up... it seems to have a rod knock, is down on power, oil pressure light flickers, and was getting hot. Also, is spewing oil on the drivers side. Entire drivers side is soaked in oil. I hope to begin teardown this weekend. Anyone have any input? used engines are so friggin expensive. edit. 2.5 dual overhead cam, did head gaskets 110k ago, timing 50k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton96 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I personally would get a set of rebuilt heads, order the subaru OEM Master gasket kit and then tear it down and replace rings, bearings and oil pump. Should be about $1300 ish if you do all the work yourself and that way you get a fully rebuilt motor for as cheap as possible. I did this on my car last winter, only took about 10 days and $1200 for my 2.2L but I replaced lots of extra stuff that you probably wouldn't need to.

BlaiddDrwg Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 It seems that is what I may do, but I have some hesitations mileage transmission works solid, but I get the binding, even on brand new tires w/ alignment I really want a five speed..... plus, I drive a TON of miles. 50k a year.
