music.to.kill.yourself.by Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hey, guys... Long time... I'm at 153k miles, and I'm using a quart of oil every 750 miles. It seems, from what I've read, that it's probably a ring-land failure on cyl #4. A compression test will indicate for sure, but no matter what, it's probably time for a top-end. And if I'm honest, that's a disappointment, but I'm committed to it. Do we have any quality independent shop options for a teardown/rebuild in Cleveland? The dealer will likely want $5k for this work -- plus the cost of the clutch, etc. (original clutch, so might as well change it). Thanks in advance...

TSiWRX Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 I think most in the area would recommend Slick, for this type of stuff. Tough break there, man.

TSiWRX Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 ^ Check both LERSOC (Lake Erie Regional Subaru Owners Club) as well as Forced4s.com (all makes/models, but the founding core was strongly Subaru-oriented at the time, and there's still many of us there). ----- I buy my e85 from the same station every time Not like I have a choice of many locations ^ :lol: TSI+WRX Ron is having a H2H on Sunday... I know. Thank you. But unfortunately I can't make it - this weekend, we've got a family member's wedding. I still have $275 or something like that on-credit at Ron's, since I paid for a few classes that got postponed. I may be starting his Combatives Conditioning class on Tuesday!

Mill Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Anybody here done a timing belt themselves and is in the akron area?
