hamyscj Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 So we started the father/son project today. With a twist...son just graduated college in December and landed a $50k/yr job so he is paying for all the goodies!!!

hamyscj Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 Tomorrow the engine will be out. We did a timing belt and water pump a few months ago. A few days before Christmas it developed a knock. We pulled the front covers back off to check the timing belt tensioner and didn't see anything suspicious there. So the engine will come out.

Infosecdad Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Cool, that's the first time I've seen someone drop one of those engines out the bottom. I don't have the ability to get her up in the air high enough to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamyscj Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 What are the plans for the 2.5 once it comes out and the 2.0 goes in?No plans at the moment. Unless someone can convince me to part with it, I'll keep it for now. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soobyhobby Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Hopefully the AC was discharged. Just for a recommendation to anyone pulling any subaru engine, it's best to remove the PS pump and AC pump from the engine and leave it with the car, so as not to have to disconnect these systems.

hamyscj Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 Power steering, no problem. A/C on the other hand... it looks like the lower bolts would be a bugger to get to without taking the intake off, which I wanted to do on the engine stand. It is what it is...

hamyscj Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 What are the plans for the 2.5 once it comes out and the 2.0 goes in?The job is done and we decided to sell the old short block. Are you still interested? #2 rod bearing failure. Cylinders still have cross hatches...slight surface rust from sitting in the shop.
