change the crank out in the EJ25D block so you could use STi rods (since STi rods have larger crank journals then EJ25D rods and won't work with stock 25D crank

 

Okay, Ill try to explain better. In 1999, the Forester, and the Impreza 2.5 RS got the full Phase 2 EJ25, the one with a phase 2 block (thrust bearing at #5, and 52mm rod journals), 10mm oil pump, and the SOHC heads. Everyone know that, nothing special here, lol.

 

 

I found all this in this thread http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1888017&page=4

ok this sounds wierd but i had a 10mm pump and iirc the thrust bearing was not in the middle. it is the closer to the front the block?

 

btw. this block in my 96 had a different engin put in. so maybe i have a phase 2 block with hydrlic heads? that would rock.. hell ill measure the rod i have sitting here on the desk.

 

edit.. the rod here measures 51 without bearings.. so i guess not
